Today I Celebrate Four Years at MD Anderson Cancer Center. The BEST Four Years Of My Life. There are No Words that can adequately describe how Grateful I am to God and the Excellent Staff at MD A. Everyone from the Valet Parking Attendants to The Nurses to my two Main Dr’s., Naifa Busaidy and Mark Zafereo (and My Trial Leader Maria Cabanillas). These people have given me what No One Else On Earth Could Have … LIFE. I rang The Bell on Friday 03 MAR after completing my second round of Radiation. Some of the past four years has been trying (I guess that’s why it’s called a Clinical Trial). It tries your Body, Mind and Spirit but it has left me THRIVING and most importantly able to meet my Grandson Domenic. I don’t often post on Social but I thought this milestone was significant. Thank You to all of you for your Prayers. They work! I am living proof. I am one of God’s Walking Miracles. God Bless You All and God Bless MD Anderson RING THE BELL The ringing of a bell. This time of year, a bell ringing can mean many different things, from Salvation Army bell ringers collecting donations outside of stores or an angel getting its wings. For those in a battle with cancer, the ringing of a bell signifies a great accomplishment. It means the end of a tough chapter of chemotherapy and/or radiation and the beginning of a new one.   The tradition started in 1996 at MD Anderson. A rear admiral in the U.S. Navy, Irve Le Moyne, was undergoing radiation therapy for head and neck cancer, and he told his doctor that he planned to follow a Navy tradition of ringing a bell to signify “when the job was done.” He brought a brass bell to his last treatment, rang it several times, and left it as a donation.
