Cancer-free: US woman accidentally breaks celebratory bell

US woman Darla Jaye was so excited to complete her radiotherapy for breast cancer this week, that she jumped at the chance to ring the 'Cancer-Free Bell'.

And her vigorous enthusiasm saw her accidentally break the bell at the Harris Health System centre in Houston, Texas.

In a later interview, she joked: "I didn't think I had any strength left in me, but obviously I do."

In a post on social media, she wrote: "Today is my first cancer-free day." She called it "the best day" since she was diagnosed with cancer in February.
