Bravely borne struggle
"It is with great sadness that the family of Professor Wangari Maathai announces her passing away on 25 September, 2011, at the Nairobi Hospital, after a prolonged and bravely borne struggle with cancer," the Green Belt Movement said in a statement.
"Her loved ones were with her at the time.
"Professor Maathai's departure is untimely and a very great loss to all who knew her - as a mother, relative, co-worker, colleague, role model, and heroine; or who admired her determination to make the world a more peaceful, healthier, and better place."

What is the meaning of prolonged and bravely borne struggle with cancer?
The words 'bravely borne' sound odd to me.
I mean I don't know what it means.

The word "borne" here is the past tense of "bear." The word "bear" has many meanings, but in this sentence it means "to suffer or endure."
