Vicky Phelan has said she is "in a better place" than she was, but opened up on her struggles that have plagued her in recent weeks in her latest health update.
The CervicalCheck campaigner just weeks ago updated her followers saying that she is now in "manageable pain" as she shared beautiful snaps of afternoon tea in a five-star hotel.
It came after a social media break from the mother-of-two after she revealed she was stopping treatment for her illness.
On Sunday evening, we got the latest update from Vicky.
Taking to social media, Vicky wrote that she was enjoying "a lovely bank holiday weekend down in West Clare at our holiday home visiting our favourite beach, Doughmore...going for spins and coffee to one of my favourite coffee haunts, having the chats with Catriona and browsing her fabulous gift shop.
"I always buy something...yesterday it was a lovely Burren candle, having dinner out at another favourite restaurant which has just been taken over by new owners and management. I wish them luck with it. We had a wonderful experience this evening. Thank you to Jason & his team."
However, Vicky also explained how difficult things had been.
She continued: "While it has been lovely to get down here and to get down on the beach, it is also so hard at times because I can't walk the beach. I am just about getting down there and I need to rest after every time I exert myself.
"My back is just not cooperating BUT I know I am in a better place than 6 weeks ago when I was confined to a chair. It just gets to me at times that I can no longer walk my favourite beach and that I need help tying my shoes and other stupid little things that get to me...
"Apologies for the rant. It has been a lovely weekend overall and once I am with the people I love, that's all that really matters, isn't it"
