I am Still Here: living with multiple cancer diagnoses, (Paperback)

Dr. Cynthia Gray has always sought to be brave or courageous, even as a small child, although she felt the exact opposite. Now she believes that courage is the willingness to face fear or dread, even if it's just one small step at a time-and she realises that she was courageous and brave all along. I Am Still Here presents a memoir that reflects on the challenges of having six different cancer diagnoses from the age of five until Dr. Gray's current age of sixty-three. But her story is not just a fifty-eight-year cancer survivorship story. It's about finding purpose and meaning in life through gratitude, adventure, and meaningful occupations in spite of the obstacles. It is also a celebration of love. Dr. Gray met her future husband at just fourteen years old, and they have now been happily married for forty-four years. Her first career was as a nurse and midwife, which she cherished deeply. Later she studied to become a clinical psychologist, which gave her life further richness, purpose, and depth. Her story is dedicated to those who need encouragement and offers hope to those who feel hope is gone.
