On yesterday's show there was a debate on whether bells should be banned/moved, one women who has secondary cancer called them "cruel and divisive" - would be interested to hear what other cancer patients think.
Unintended consequences ... having people with life-threatening incurable cancer within earshot of those bells is like the 1970’s horror of putting women who had just had a devastating miscarriage on the same ward as women with crying healthy babies. For many that sound emphasises their own loss of hope.

Thank you for your thoughts on the matter. However I don't like the maternity comparison, having lost a child myself. I think there's a difference in that one is dead and the other is living and continue to live due to treatment - so there is still hope for the latter.
A bit off topic, but I sat in a waiting room full of pregnant ladies just before being told that I needed a hysterectomy. Not fun, especially as someone in their early forties without any kids.
