It is one factor but does not play as big of a role as choosing the correct oncologist and cancer facility for your particular cancer and personal situation plus do not underestimate the X factor - luck. Lots of very brave & courageous people succumb to cancer every day so just having lots of courage will only take you so far.
I define courage as pressing forward in the face of fear. I am an oncology nurse (meaning I work on the cancer ward) and I see people face some of the hardest decisions of their lives. Sometimes it takes courage to say, "no more chemotherapy" and sometimes it takes courage in the face of odds to say, "do everything you can to help save my life". The human spirit is divine. I'm amazed by my patients daily. I hope this helps you to understand how courage relates to surviving cancer.
Courage is a integral part of survival. If you own the condition - you own the cure...
I am a cancer survivor myself. To me courage is what got me through my cancer. Staying strong and fighting for your life. It definitely gets tough. There were times when I thought death would be easier than chemo. It makes you super sick, and I had to wear a face mask wherever I went. I lost all my hair and I was a teenager. I was on isolation in the hospital for 3-4 wks frequently. However, if I didn't have the courage and strength to keep fighting I wouldn't have been alive today. Now I am a student nurse hoping to work in pediatric oncology to help lil ones stay strong and courageous through tough times.
