Abstract

The ringing of a bell has become an honored and cherished tradition in the realm of cancer survivorship care. As a medical student, I was initially unaware of this practice, but I have since gained a profound appreciation for its deep significance and emotional potency. Through the act of ringing the bell, patients who have successfully completed their cancer treatment are able to mark the end of a gruelling journey, while also heralding the start of a new and hopeful chapter in their lives.
