CANCER is a six-letter word that has brought fear, pain, and loss to countless lives. It's a word people fear so much that they refer to it as the "Big C", as if not saying its full name could somehow soften its blow. However, I have faced cancer twice-looked it in the eye, fought hard, and by God's grace, survived. That is why I speak the word boldly, and why I have written this book.

This book is more than a collection of testimonies. It is a reminder that faith is not the absence of suffering, but the anchor that steadies us through it. Whether you are battling cancer, caring for someone who is, or searching for meaning in a season of suffering, these pages will guide you back to the unchanging truth: God is near, God is working, and God is faithful.

May you come to see that even in the most overwhelming moments, God's light still breaks through the darkness. His love still heals deep places, and His hope, still remains stronger than any diagnosis.

"When I first opened this book, I expected insight. What I did not expect was the depth of encouragement, honesty, and spiritual grounding that awaited me. These pages hold stories overflowing with love, care, vulnerability, and truth-stories that speak not only to the experience of living with cancer, but to the universal journey of navigating fear, faith, and healing."
