I have a really hard time with the way people talk about cancer and putting in the form of some quantifiable fight. Because it requires fighting in its very nature. It requires insane levels of strength from the get go. But it also requires other things of people...

But those who die from cancer fought no less than anyone else. Thus to put it in terms of fight / beating is honestly an insult to their memory. But people keep doing it because the existential dread of the indiscriminate nature of cancer terrifies people, but that's what it is.

Insult is probably too a strong word. And of course, I get wanting to support and an inspire. It's a really hard thing to find framing for because it goes in a lot of directions and speaks to a lot of different experiences. I guess I'm mostly just arguing for mindfulness of that.
