How It Works

See Your Progress, One Ribbon at a Time

Each ribbon represents one scheduled chemotherapy or radiation treatment. After each treatment is completed, one ribbon is removed.

Your determination keeps you moving forward. Your treatment does the medical work. My Countdown Friend helps you recognize each step you've taken by providing a visual representation of your progress.

A Visible Countdown Through Treatment

See the Idea Immediately

As treatments are completed and ribbons are removed, the changing number of ribbons provides a visual representation of progress through the scheduled treatment process.
