For DUers in remission

I had close relatives who didn't reach remission, but am touched by the bell ceremony at the end of treatment. Have just ordered 2 of these bells for friends.

I was supposed to get to ring the bell at the end of chemo in November. It kind of got screwed up. My onco said I only needed 2 more treatments when the chemo staff thought I was there for another 4 or 6.

I start radiation on Monday (the last step in treatment) for 25 external treatments then 3 internal. Hoping I get my celebration then! If not at the hospital with my care team, I already have some Blue Hen Blue wine chilling for me and the family.

Best wishes for your friends and family. I’ll hold them in my thoughts.
