    Bell ringing ceremonies at the conclusion of cancer treat: Yea or nay? After reading this I'm now leaning towards nay or major changes. Patients with metastatic disease who can't be "cured" understandably do not react well to the bell.https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/902132 …

        Akin to having a patient with a stillborn share a room with one with a healthy newborn. I’d say no.

        I'd say nay - it's rubbing your good fortune in the faces of patients and families who don't share it, like going to a homeless shelter and bragging about how much your Rolex cost.

        Katherine O'Brien (@ihatebreastcancer) a woman with stage 4 breast cancer, who is quoted in the story, proposes eliminating bells in chemo suites -- and that is the setting where most of awkwardness, psychic pain and anger occurs

        There was no bell at the centre where I had my chemo.

        Nay. Let people celebrate (or not) at home. Ceremonies in the hospital? That just squicks me out

        I agree, and all the fighting battling winning/losing analogies are equally unhelpful. Moral fibre (whatever that is) does not predict outcomes

        I say we shouldn’t take this away from early stagers but make major changes. I ring every time I get a good scan or good news. I’m MBC for nine years. Someone may up this rule so we should in all inclusive.
