Paul Mescal’s mam Dearbhla has said that she is set to return to hospital to get an MRI scan - but has also shared good news about her recovery from cancer.
The Maynooth mum-of-three and member of An Garda Siochana was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, which is a type of bone marrow cancer that can affect the spine, skull, pelvis and ribs, last July. Dearbhla has, in recent months, been documenting her cancer journey on social media, and she has said that she is due to return to hospital for an MRI scan due to unexplained pain.
Dearbhla wrote on Instagram: "So I’ve just finished in the hospital, I’ve to go for an MRI. Date to be confirmed, but that’s okay.

"Bloods done, all still really good numbers so very, very happy about that part and we’ll get to the root of the pain but it’s so wonderful to be cared for by this amazing team." Dearbhla later followed up by letting her followers know that she was back home again, and that she was feeling "less anxious" about the pain she has been experiencing.
"I’m now going to settle and I hope for all of you that need to be heard that you get heard, that would be my hope for us all – that our voices are heard and if your voice can’t be heard that there is somebody advocating for you to be heard. I think that is really important."
Last month, Dearbhla shared a heartwarming update with her followers that she was on the way home to Maynooth after a stay in St James's Hospital in Dublin
In March, Dearbhla and her husband Paul joined their son Normal People star Paul Mescal at the Oscar's ceremony in LA on 13 March when he was nominated for Best Actor for his leading role in drama film Aftersun. Last week Paul also won an IFTA award for Lead Actor for his part in Aftersun.
