This notion that patients “battle” cancer strikes me as a weird locution. I struggled thru chemo and radiation in that past year. Not much of a battle. I laid down and accepted the treatment, then I slept an awful lot. Lots of appointments. Cancer in remission. I’m still sleeping 10 hours a day as treatment fatigue wears off. Some battle. Completely passive.
