@dlgbb Oh!! Are these bells and gongs the ones you rang at the facility when you finished your last radiation session? These are terrific pictures. You look so happy and with good reason! My bell at Mayo Clinic was considerably smaller and I did enjoy the applause and cheers from staff and other patients when I rang the bell.

Yes! The chimes are in the radiation department, and the gong is in the central courtyard for all patients of the hospital. It felt so good!!! I am wearing my Medicine Hat Tigers jersey, as we are hopefully on our way to the Memorial Cup! The Arthur J E Childs Comprehensive Cancer Centre is absolutely beautiful, and the care has been wonderful. I am so grateful.

Yes Helen
Most rewarding feeling to ring the finishing radiation bell. So nice the radiation staff came out with me & other patients were waiting to go to there radiation treatments. They all clapped. I had my husband come in to my last Brachy appointment!
It sure was a uplifting experience to ring the bell 27
Radiation treatments completed! I must say i lived 1 hour away from my treatments & there was days i would of liked to stay home! The radiations were tiring , but so worth my end results . 6 month check up all was clear.
