MARIETTA, GA – Surviving cancer is often seen as the end of a difficult journey. For Monya Williams, it marked the beginning of a new one.
Years before she was diagnosed with breast cancer at age forty-six, Williams was carrying wounds that few people could see. She survived sexual, physical, and emotional abuse during childhood and spent years struggling with the lasting effects of trauma, depression, and self-doubt. When cancer entered her life, it became another challenge in a story that had already tested her strength in profound ways.
In I CAN-CER VIVE: Live Free, Choose Joy, Williams shares that story with candor and vulnerability. Drawing from personal journals and life experiences, she recounts her cancer diagnosis, treatment, and recovery while reflecting on the emotional burdens she carried long before she entered a hospital room.
The challenges continued after treatment. Williams later developed permanent partial facial paralysis and underwent more than thirty surgeries over a six-year period. The setbacks altered the course of her life and forced her to confront difficult questions about identity, purpose, and what it truly means to heal.
Rather than allowing those experiences to define her future, Williams chose a different path. She focused on faith, forgiveness, gratitude, and the daily decision to keep moving forward. Over time, she discovered that survival was only part of the story.
Today, her memoir speaks to a growing number of people living with cancer, recovering from cancer, caring for loved ones, or quietly carrying the weight of trauma and grief. Through her experiences, Williams offers a reminder that life can still hold meaning, connection, and joy even after its most difficult chapters.
