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.
l have often thought that this must seem bittersweet to those present who will never have the opportunity.Those who say it brings hope to others, have a point but l have always held the view hat hope belongs at the beginning of the fight not at the finish..In my mind itt always felt that the margin between cure and remission is never that clear cut that you can jump to a definitive conclusion.Six years on l would not have rung the bell then,neither would l today. Having said all of this,l would not stop others that held the opposite belief,

Hi all, I've thought about it good and hard, as i am now i wouldn't ring the bell, I'm on palliative care so treatment just keeps me going. BUT if ever i was cured I'd probably ring so hard I'd break it. Good luck to all...
