MARIETTA, GA — September 11, 2026 Surviving a difficult chapter is often treated as the finish line. The diagnosis is behind you. The treatment is over. Life is supposed to return to normal.
For Monya Williams, it did not happen that way.
Long before she was diagnosed with breast cancer at age forty-six, Williams had already experienced difficult and painful circumstances early in life. Those experiences continued to influence her journey into adulthood, bringing challeges involving depression, fear, and self-worth. 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, Williams shares that journey through personal journals, memories, and reflections. She recounts her cancer diagnosis and recovery, along with the years that followed, including permanent partial facial paralysis and more than thirty surgeries over a six-year period.
As she faced those setbacks, Williams discovered that healing was not about returning to the person she had once been. Too much had changed. Instead, she found herself learning how to move forward while carrying the experiences that had shaped her life.
Rather than focusing on what was lost, Williams began focusing on what remained possible. Through faith, forgiveness, gratitude, and perseverance, she gradually rebuilt a life centered on purpose and joy. The woman who emerged from those experiences was not the same person she had been before, but she discovered that moving forward did not require going backward.
