What's with the term "Survivor?"

According to dictionary.com the definition of survivor is "a person who continues to function or prosper in spite of opposition, hardship, or setbacks." I like the definiton, but for some reason the word survivor bugs me. I want more than that. It just doesn't seem like enough. Of course, I am surviving and will survive breast cancer. But, I am not just surviving. I am kicking breast cancers ass. So, instead of breast cancer survivor, I think I am going to go with Breast Cancer Champion. I hit this head on, I am defeating cancer. I have always looked at this as a fight, a battle, a war. I am the warrior, I am the champion. I don't want to just be a survivor. It isn't enough.
