>>99148304I'm not "battling cancer". I'm trying to keep a positive attitude hoping that this time the chemo sticks and, if it doesn't, at least it doesn't metastasize into an unoperable place.
For other people, it's hoping the chemo is strong enough to reduce the cancer to a size that can be extracted.
For other, it's just waiting to die.
In any of the cases, you're not doing anything but voluntarily putting poison in your veins. "Battle" implies you're actively fighting something. You don't. Cancer is not under your control, it's not something you can change.
Nothing you can do affects the chance of the chemo working. You just wait and hope for the best.
You accept that there's some thing beyond your control and make peace with the fact that you are possibly going to die, or you go mad with grief. But you'd be surprised what kind of things people get used to.
