Journal entry by Amy Mckinley —
I did it! I rang the bell for radiation today, another milestone crossed off the list and one step closer to being done. Every day the past month I drove to northfield for appointments, and received excellent care by the staff at Mayo Clinic. I feel waves of excitement, yet I am also terrified as I approach the finish line. There is still a few months left in this journey. Treatment has been a feat the last 10 months. But in an odd way it has also been a form of comfort I am slowly losing as I approach the end of this fight and begin the next. The process I will take each and every day as I fight to make it to remission, and beyond. Some days are much harder than others but today was a good reminder of what I have accomplished. That my body is incredible. That I am so grateful for each and every day that I get to wake up and work to be the best version of myself.
