Author Shares a Powerful Story of the Battle That Began Long Before Cancer
MARIETTA, GA - August 15, 2026 - For many people, a cancer diagnosis represents the most difficult chapter of their lives.
For Monya Williams, some of the hardest battles had already begun years earlier.
Long before she was diagnosed with breast cancer at age forty-six, Williams was living with the effects of childhood sexual, physical, and emotional abuse. The trauma followed her into adulthood, contributing to struggles with depression, fear, and self-worth that remained largely invisible to those around her.
When cancer entered her life, it became another challenge in a journey that had already tested her in profound ways.
In I CAN-CER VIVE: Live Free, Choose Joy [https://www.amazon.com/Can-Cer-Vive-Live-Free-Choose/dp/1966972121], Williams shares the story behind those experiences and the years that followed. Drawing from personal journals and memories, she reflects on the pain she carried, the diagnosis that changed her life, and the difficult process of healing both physically and emotionally.
Her recovery was far from simple. Williams later developed permanent partial facial paralysis and underwent more than thirty surgeries over a six-year period. Yet through each setback, she found herself focusing less on why these experiences had happened and more on how she could continue moving forward. That shift in perspective became the foundation of her memoir.
More than a cancer story, I CAN-CER VIVE explores survival after trauma, the weight of unseen struggles, and the possibility of finding joy after life takes an unexpected turn. Williams hopes readers will see that a difficult past does not have to determine the future and that healing is not about pretending pain never existed. It is about choosing to keep living, loving, forgiving, and believing anyway.
