On the flipside, more people being aware of it would totally ruin the surprise!

Leave the dangerous work to capable people, others can support in their own different way.

Apologies for me not wording things more clearly. When I talk of battle and other such similar phrases, in this context it simply means overcoming adversity, whether it be physical or mental. Dion gaining the courage to go through with the surgery is still him fighting for the chance to continue living, even if he's not throwing punches. Meanwhile, if he let his fears win out and he does nothing, then he's dead for sure. That's both what I and the episode is getting at.
