Annoyed at calling it a fight?

[u/Rachel21321]

Anyone else thankful but also get annoyed when people call you a fighter or this cancer a fight or that you are so brave? I don’t think I am any of those things. I am doing what I need to do to get better. It doesn’t feel like anything I’m really doing is “fighting” or “brave” or even changing the situation aside from making decisions. It feels like these steps I take either work or they don’t but not through much conscious fault of my own. To me it just feels like this shitty thing to hopefully get through.

Nope. It doesn’t bother me a bit. It’s their way of showing they care and they know it’s tough. They use the best words they know how to use, and they said something - even though they were probably afraid to say the wrong thing. I’m just glad they show up for me and I take everything with the intent that is behind their words and feel the love they are directing my way. And, I’m an unashamed freaking Warrior.
