Dear Cancer, is her raw, unfiltered account of what followed: the brutality of chemotherapy, the side effects no one warns you about, and the haunting question every parent with cancer faces: Will I live long enough to watch my children grow up? But as the medical battles rage on, Maria also begins a quieter, deeper journey. Refusing to let her diagnosis define her by fear alone, she shifts from asking \"Why me?\" to asking, \"What am I missing?\" With the support of her husband, the prayers of her family, and a balance of Western medicine and holistic healing, she discovers that survival is not only about fighting, but also about listening, surrendering, and learning how to truly live. Initially labelling herself a fighter by default, Maria ultimately realizes that battle is not the language of her healing. A chance remark from a close friend sparks an insight that changes everything, allowing her to accept a new meaning of her diagnosis-one rooted not in resistance but in awareness and choice. Dear Cancer, is not a story of sadness and pain. It is an invitation to find joy amid that sadness and healing amid that pain. It is an invitation to find strength in vulnerability and gratitude in every breath. It is an invitation to remember that while we cannot control what happens to us, we can control how we respond.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"978-1-0698009-0-9","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47891180585111,"sku":"9781069800909","price":1252.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781069800909.webp?v=1781182662","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/dear-cancer-a-memoir-about-my-journey-with-ovarian-cancer-9781069800909","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
