My radiation center did the bell ringing ceremony. It was such a big thing for all of us, all the doctors and nurses came out for it. The bell was mounted on a wall, beautiful wooded frame, with a picture and dedication of the woman and her family that donated it. She was a 20+ year cancer survivor.
The poem goes like this:
Ring this bell three times well
It will clearly say
My course is run
My treatments done
And I am on my way!!
I will never forget ringing that bell.
Good luck Sabrina, your new life is waiting for you so GO for it!
