On the spectrum or go gentle vs fight, I'd have to say, now is the time is history where "fight" makes the most sense.

This is not abstract for me. I have not one, but two forms of cancer.

Both were considered incurable when I was diagnosed.

Both have treatments now that, IN SOME PEOPLE, lead to remission.

I still don't know which group I am, but I'd be dead from either one by now, if I hadn't elected to treat.

New treatments, for SOME cancers are literally coming out monthly.

So the fact that you can't be cured today, does mean there won't be a better treatment by next year, if you can hang on.

I should find out soon on my more aggressive one. Either way, I plan on continuing to try.

if nothing works, try cryonics. Maybe AI-2040 is right and we'll be able to revive you in a few years.

It's a battle, not a boxing match, that you're fighting. No shame in a battle chant or maybe even a battle cry.

Sending thoughts of remission through the aether. And wishing your tries become success.

Sending good wishes

Hero - keep fighting!

Keep fighting the good fight, Internet friend. I look forward to reading your remission comment one day.
