I don't mean to insult anyone here but I never really understood why people call kids with cancer or people like OP resilient and heroic. I'd understand if you choose to stop your heart 9 times (even though it would be a silly thing to do) but it surely requires courage. On the other hand you don't call someone who fell over by accident brave just because he broke his nose or something. I guess my point is OP doesn't have a choice but to live on or kill himself but suicide over an illness is absurd in most cases so it's just something he has to live with. I'm sure it sucks knowing that you could die at any moment but it's not heroic only unfortunate. At least that's the way I see it.
