	Description:		Cancer patients often ring a bell to commemorate the end of treatment – but until now, the many effects of ringing the bell have not been studied. Patrick Williams, MD and Richard Jennelle, MD, authors of "The Cancer Bell: Too Much of a Good Thing?" discuss their recent article and the surprising results reported within. Psychologist Dr. Andrea Bonior talks about ways that emotional arousal and individual patient desires can factor into the memory of treatment distress. Cancer survivor Valerie Powell tells her story of ringing the bell, what it meant to her at the time, and how she looks back on that experience now.
