Today, Judge Caprio announced he has completed his last radiation treatment after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in late 2023.
Today, Judge Caprio announced he has completed his last radiation treatment after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in late 2023. The beloved Rhode Islander celebrated by “ringing the bell”, a tradition to mark the end of treatment. This tradition was started by Irve Le Moyne, a rear admiral in the U.S. Navy, who had been undergoing radiation for cancer. Rear Admiral Le Moyne created the “ringing the bell” to follow a Navy tradition of ringing a bell to signify when the job was complete. At his last treatment he brought a bell and rang it multiple times and left it as a donation. The hospital hung the bell and a plaque on a wall saying: “Ring this bell Three times well Its toll to clearly say, My treatment’s done This course is run And I am on my way!” — Irve Le Moyne Congratulations, Judge! Best of luck… 🙏🏼❤️ #whatsgoingoninrhodeisland #judgecaprio.
