To be candid; fuck this narrative. Nobody "Beats" cancer based on sheer will. Same scenario as those that did not "Fight hard enough". It's a disease. It does not care about your wants, and needs.

Any doctor will tell you that mentality is incredibly important in fighting (yes, fighting) diseases.

It is well known that your psychological state influences the immune system a lot, and even from anecdata, you can see that people rapidly deteriorate when they give up. It is not a coincidence all these terms are used.

Can all cancers be beaten by sheer will? Of course not.

But it does play a huge factor in many cases.
