Victoria Derbyshire breast cancer diary: The final session of chemotherapy

BBC journalist Victoria Derbyshire has finished the chemotherapy stage of her breast cancer treatment. She describes her emotional reaction to the end of her final cycle.

She has been filming diaries since she was diagnosed with breast cancer at the end of July last year, to try to help demystify the treatment. Her fourth one was recorded across January and February.

Speaking on 21 February, the day before her sixth and final round of chemotherapy she said: "Every day for the past four days I have shed tears, which is really unusual because I haven't much in the past six or seven months at all. These are actually happy tears because it's going to be over soon."
