       IME there are different stages during treatment. Fighting is a good analogy when it's a struggle to attend to treatment which is saving or extending your life. But there is often a point where it becomes tiresome and cruel to tell someone to keep fighting when the time is running out. Acceptance and love becomes far more important. I think if it was me personally I'd avoid the fighting analogy entirely but everyone has their own way of dealing.

       @trregeagle I attend a small local prostate cancer support group here in the UK.There was a discussion on how to rephrase "fight" cancer.It didnt seem to get anywhere, but the word itself makes it sound as if it is your fault if you lose.Lost the fight with cancer is an expression we hear a lot and it makes me angry, but I havent thought of a better one.I am really grateful to people like you who give their time to fund raise . Thank you.

       Thanks. I actually get sick of all the fundraising but it's necessary to keep the wheels turning. I think awareness, talking and sharing ideas about surviving cancer (and innumerable other health problems) are as important as research.
