Hello :) 

no you don`t have to do this - I had a chemo not radio but I guess same rules for the bell apply ;) 

I did ring the bell - for me that was marking completion of something unexpected but also when I have got to chemo unit for the first time I have seen one lady ringing the bell and said to myself that I can`t wait to do this at the end of the treatment - that was something I have been waiting for - not for all nurses waiting for me to do this but only for myself - my husband even recorded it :) 

Good luck and remember - do the thing which will make you feel comfy :)

Thanks all

i will mention it today with the rads team, I am just a private person and try and keep my emotions in check, I would hate to start crying in front of people plus I am doing this alone, I have no one to record it, no one to cheer or hug. I would look pretty sad standing there on my own and couldn’t bear to see the pity in others faces. 

Well i hope you keep coming on here with updates to how your doing or just chat rant anything you want to do you name it you dont have to do this alone as there are many on here going ghrough it or been through it who understand and will give you as much support as they can  your not alone now just by yourself best wishs paul
