The website for Irish women
Vicky Phelan has come a household name thanks to her tireless activism for women’s health. It was she who first brought the cervical cancer screening scandal to light when she refused to sign a gagging order and instead spoke out after she settled her case. It would transpire that Vicky was just one of 221 women who had not been told that a clinical audit of their cervical smears had revised the previous negative results.
“I really want to be as honest, brutally so, about the experience and how I felt at the time, because I know there are women out there going through the exact same thing and a lot of people probably don’t name it. It took me a long, long time to actually realise that’s what was wrong with me. I felt that I didn’t love my baby enough and I resented her and I felt terrible guilt for that.
Vicky says that, as well as taking up running, she found solace in the time in online parenting forums.
