does continuing to “fight” actually affect the outcome of a cancer diagnosis?

When someone is diagnosed with cancer, we often see comments like “keep fighting, you’ve got this!”. Is there any scientific basis behind this actually having an effect on the outcome / survival and remission rates? What exactly are they doing when they’re “fighting” that helps to beat the cancer?

There are trends in cancer immunotherapy treatments of patients having greater survival rates if they have tried multiple immunotherapy types instead of just one. On the other hand, immunotherapy is usually very, very expensive. Even so, I hope the costs will go down steadily soon because I do think it will be best shot we have for now.
