Why I Don't Like The Cancer Warrior Title

Why I Don't Like The Cancer Warrior Title And What I Think Suits Better!
I finally went to see a counsellor about everything I just went through, and it was actually really useful. She helped me see that I used masks to help me cope with everything. It made me see how unhelpful the Cancer Warrior title really is. It is now hitting me afterwards and if I hadn't felt like I had to hold it all together so tightly through my cancer journey, then maybe it wouldn't have hit me so hard now! This goes against some of my other videos I know, but not I have some distance from it, I'm gaining more perspective!
Yes, cancer is difficult, but you shouldn't feel like you are fighting and have to be tough and show no weakness. It takes away from how you are truly feeling. It means you can't immerse yourself and truly accept the present moment, because you almost aren't allowed to. You aren't fighting it, you aren't battling through, you are being treated for an illness and doing the best you can with the situation. The Warrior branding almost distances you from what is really happening, but maybe that is a good thing. I never embraced the warrior title.
What saddens me most is when someone passes away from cancer and people say she lost her battle or lost her fight with cancer. It makes it sound like it was her fault for not fighting hard enough or something. It wasn't her fault, she would have done everything in her power to pull through. People should be encouraged and supported through it all. It is a very delicate balance and it is not easy all round, but I just don't think this Warrior title fits.
To me I see myself as less of a warrior and more of a QUEEN! Holding my chin up and picking my way through an awful situation with as much grace and dignity as possible. Admired yet you know she has a tough job to do. A Queen title shines a different light on you and makes people want to look after you in a different way, instead of goading you on into battle. It says “Respect me, Im going through a very tough time but Im rising to the occasion!” Don't you agree?
Hold your heads high, set that crown straight and demand the best! You deserve it!
