Hi, I know you meant well, but a lot of people with cancer (including myself) don't like the war/battle-type language people often use surrounding the disease, as e.g. it implies someone didn't 'fight' hard enough if they die from their illness. We don't e.g. say someone lost their battle with heart disease, dementia, stroke, Alzheimer's, depression, etc., but we oddly use this language for cancer.

To answer your question, I am still having treatment.
