@peterj116 you are so right. A friend of mine is a Urologist and he is 110% committed to treating prostate cancer but he says you can't do that isolation. 50% of your attention has to be on the biology and 50% has to be on the psychology of the disease. He says that one goes with the other. I would imagine the same holds true for many types of cancers, especially breast cancer. It's a very astute observation that you made. Prostate Cancer, and the psychology must be treated together. Very good point Sir .

@peterj116 Maybe not everyone has it? I didn't ring a bell after my five rounds of post-op radiation to my spine (probably because I was a paraplegic in-patient be wheeled in from my hospital room upstairs), but I was offered the bell after 20 rounds of radiation to my prostate six months later (at a different facility, with no in-patient beds).
