    Brass bell

    Love it.  Brings tears to my eyes to think about it.  I wonder if other places do something similar.  If not , wouldn't it be great if we could spread it around the world.  I did my chemo in my dr's office instead of the cancer center so there were just a few of us(6-8) on any given day.  We got to know each other well and I wanted to do something to celebrate people's last sessions.  My chemo brain didn't come up withanything great, so I brought a mini cupcake in for the woman on her day.   I know, I know, sugar, flour,etc.  but it was something I could pickup atthe bakery and it had the "birthday" connection.

    My cancer center in Illinois has a "Gong" celebration

    It was special to ring  that Gong when I finished chemo and radiation in 2009.  The chemo staff and radiation staff gathered around and they read a poem about celebrating that the treatment was over.  They took my picture and gave me a certificate?  It was a moving ceremony.  I too celebrate when I hear someone ring the Gong.
