Journal entry by Joyce Russell —
My last chemo infusion is tomorrow and I have been in a funk all day. Im Not looking forward to being sick for a little over a week afterwards, however I'm thrilled it's the last one.
I will still have to get a PET scan to make sure nothing shows up and have my port removed. However the hard part will be over.
I guess I am having survivor's guilt, as I have lost two friends to cancer this year. One friend will have to have chemo or experimental treatments for the rest of her life. Another friend received more chemo than myself and had more surgeries.
Regardless I am/ will be a cancer survivor when all of this is over.
Thank you everyone for your support.
