During my chemo today, a lovely lady had her last treatment (no. 6) and rang the bell! I don’t know why but I cried and so did the other 3 people with me!! It felt wonderful to be happy for someone we barely knew and gave us all hope of finishing our grot  treatments!   Heart

  • I understand why you cried, it is so nice to see others getting better, getting good news and moving along their journey to recovery. 

    Wishing you all the best for the rest of your journey Xx

  • fab news!  I heard all our nursing staff clap someone the other dayvi asked if it was a staff birthday they said no it was someone's last treatment. couldn't be happier for them. aren't our nursing team just amazing. I plan to rake some tins of hero's when I'm done, hope it's allowed x

    • Hi  when I finished radiotherapy the bell was taken down due to covid and infection control where I was treated so my daughter bought me a china bell to take and ring on my way out, it was very emotional and people were clapping and tearful, I was on my own aswell. The chemo department didn't have a bell as some people are on chemo for a long time, they felt it wasn't appropriate. I remember feeling so happy and overwhelmed when people finished treatment. Chocs and treats are definitely allowed, as a Nurse I can vouch for that! I took a supply in for the staff.

    That’s really sad removing the bell and thinking that others might not be happy!  I was bursting for her sheer relief and it gave me something to focus on! So glad YOU had your moment in the spotlight!   Heart

  • We don’t do this at the two hospitals I’m treated at, always feel a bit jealous of others when they get to do it x
