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.

The people telling you this might have thought of it before and could possibly have contemplated suicide as a less scary option as opposed to the unknown.

In this was, you are brave because you obviously chose to still be here.," rolled the dice, took the odds", stayed to" fight another day".
