There are a lot of Facebook groups that claim to "hate cancer" or other chronic diseases. Such hatred is very compatible with the idea of "fighting" or "battling" or "waging war" against these diseases and also helps explain the often desperate measures to which people resort-- submitting to the use of risky and unproven drugs and technical procedures --not to mention the incessant efforts to raise more money to fund additional research in the hope of discovering a "cure" that always seems to be "right around the corner!"
Without implying that all these efforts are wasted, it must be admitted that the treatments offered are not particularly effective, the metaphor of "fighting" is not particularly conducive to healing, and quite frankly, when it comes to most chronic diseases, we are not getting a very good return on our investment.
All too often the patient loses the "battle" and the family is left grieving and frustrated after watching their loved-one bravely endure what was ostensibly "the best medical care available." This make for nice newspaper copy and sentamental sound-bites, but it's hell on the millions of people that go through it each year -- especially when it is so unnecessary!
