The language of engaging in a “battle” with or

The language of engaging in a “battle” with or “fighting” cancer is ubiquitous in our culture. This language can be helpful for some, and even inspiring as a call to rally resources and support to deal with the illness. A better mindset may focus not on the battle but on the bravery. It is in bravery that the truth really resides. Bravery and courage are the key elements of dealing with cancer. I think better terms would be “living with cancer,” “confronting cancer,” or “surviving cancer.”
William Breitbart is Chair of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and Chief of the Psychiatry Service at Memorial Sloan Kettering and we loved his words here so we thought we’d share. #cancerthrivers

Cancer is the name given to a collection of related diseases. In all types of cancer, some of the body’s cells begin to divide without stopping and spread into surrounding tissues.

Cancer can start almost anywhere in the human body, which is made up of trillions of cells. When cells grow old or become damaged, they die, and new cells take their place.

When cancer develops, however, this orderly process breaks down. As cells become more and more abnormal, old or damaged cells survive when they should die, and new cells form when they are not needed. These extra cells can divide without stopping and may form growths called tumors.
