Are we ever really finished with cancer? Is ringing a bell at the end of treatment a good idea?
In this @Rad_Chat oncology podcast interview with Therapeutic Radiographer Keeley Rigby you will hear a lively discussion about her research project “Celebrate”.
Keeley ran focus groups for patients and professionals and found that the presence of a bell on wards is not evidence-based, and deeply upsetting for many. Keeley shares different ways that patients and loved ones can mark a moment without emotionally harming themselves or hurting others by accident.
