@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).

@northoftheborder I had 22 sessions of radiation myself. It burned my Colon- luck of the draw I guess. But after treatments , instead of ringing a bell , I said I wanted to give back . So I Promised to clean up their Garden and bring in some rose bushes ...once I regained my strength . After 3-4 weeks I had enough strength , so I went back there and did there garden . It was important for me to give back to them ( where I stayed at Cancer lodge across from Hospital . )

@northoftheborder Maybe it's for those who get radiation & not guys like me who wimp out & get a one-and-done surgery.
