You are fighting, because there is a force (cancer) which is actively working against you.

We're agreeing. Fighting is an appropriate word choice here against cancer.

There should not usually be any forces actively working against your relationship though, so I wouldn’t call it a fight.

There shouldn't be, but humanity seems to invent them frequently. There can be external forces working against the relationship. It could be something as benign as excessive responsibilities at work robbing time from the relationship, financial challenges for basic needs (food, clothing, housing), or perhaps difficulties with child care (especially for children with special needs). For some it could be society pressures such as your community disapproving of your relationship because of differences in race or religion. It could even be state sponsored forces such as laws against homosexuality or trans people.
