A patient "ringing the bell" is a ritual which often takes place at medical facilities to signify a milestone in cancer treatment, according to the Oncology Nursing Society.

Harrison was diagnosed with colon cancer in October 2022, his sister, Morgan Harrison, told Storyful.

Following his diagnosis, Brendan Harrison immediately entered surgery to remove a cancerous mass, the media source reported.

After two months of recovery, he started chemotherapy which has been ongoing for the last six months, Storyful shared.

"He is a teacher and a high school varsity baseball coach so you can see his team along with many friends and family gathering together to congratulate him for such an accomplishment," Morgan Harrison shared with Storyful.

On that Monday when they arrived to the treatment center, the Bay City Western Baseball team tweeted photos alongside Harrison, who also known as "Coach Bubba."

"Whole team there to support him," the post read, in part. "Love ya Bubba!"
