I'm only (pointlessly) commenting to take issue with the "kicking cancer's ass" bit. There has been a lot written about this well-meaning-but-unproductive attitude already. See, e.g.:

Nearly all factors that inform cancer outcomes are out of a patient's control at the time of diagnosis. Surviving is more a matter of luck and treatment quality than any individual's desire or ability to "fight."

Being on the short end of the statistics should be bad enough without the culture implying you are losing only because you didn't want badly enough to win.
