Eden ran down the hall into her nurse\u2019s arms as staff at Montefiore in the Bronx, New York, cheered with pom poms and claps while confetti rained down on them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eden then rang the bell, which symbolizes the end of her treatment. Afterward, her mom rang the bell while cheering, \u201cwe did it!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

When people think of bells ringing, they often think of church beginning or school ending, but for cancer patients, it signifies something far more meaningful. Texas Children\u2019s Hospital explains<\/a> that when the bell is rung, it means the patient has reached his or her long-awaited end-of-treatment. It is the end to an incredibly long and often very difficult journey for not just the patient, but their families as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eden received gifts from the nurses and doctors who cared for her, and had a smile on her face from ear to ear.<\/span><\/p>\n
