Strong women

And as for bravery/heroism, words bandied about. In my opinion these words should be applied only where there is a choice, and people do it anyway. A shining example is Zelensky and his wife. Neither my husband nor I chose to have cancer so weren’t brave. Just lucky.

When I had cancer, people said 'Oh you're so brave'. WTF? Like I'd chosen the fight.

I agree.

I do not like it when people say how well someone has fought cancer, it implies that those that died did not fight hard enough.

I agree with you all. However, I suppose people are just trying to be nice.
What would be a better comment or thing to say to people with cancer or other serious diseases? Serious question?
