This Morning - Should Chemo/Radiotherapy Bells be banned

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.
