I've always had a hard time with the labels of strong, brave in the context of being a cancer survivor. I've always felt that these labels required some sort of action. Throughout my treatment, I was a passive bystander. I watched people test me. I watched them put drugs in my body. I watched my progress. The strong and brave ones are the researchers, doctors and nurses who arrive every day and actively fix the problems; the family members @karen-butler who drive to the appointments, sit next to you in the chair, analyze the blood work.
