    I kind of feel the same when someone says they “beat cancer’s ass”. Doctors and medical technology kicked cancer’s ass.

      I’m a medical student and I’m here to tell you that no amount of medicine, physicians, nor technology will save a patient if they don’t have the personal strength and fortitude to survive cancer treatment. Chemo is literally poison that is carefully dosed out so that it hopefully kills the tumor before it kills the patient. People who are strong enough, mentally, emotionally, and physically, to survive cancer treatment are incredible and claiming otherwise is ignorant and disrespectful.
