Abstract

How often do we read in or hear through the media the story of survivors, often referred to as heroes of events or incidents? These survivors portray courage, inner strength, resilience, and many other admirable qualities. Consider the influence of these portrayals on our own lives. We can apply a similar context to cancer survivors.
