Taking care of yourself is one of the bravest things you can do:

“When it came to hockey, I tried to be tough while still understanding the importance of taking care of yourself for the next generation: no one knows your body better than you,” Howe said. “But when it came to a lump in my chest, I needed my teammates to encourage me to go to the doctor’s and get it checked out. So I lead with that: be brave, no one knows your body better than you do. Reach out and take care of yourself.”
