Cynthia Gray's story inspires readers to find purpose, love and meaning — even amidst the hardest battles
BRISBANE, Australia, June 4, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Cynthia Gray, in "I am Still Here: Living With Multiple Cancer Diagnoses" (published by Balboa Press AU), offers a deeply personal account of life with cancer, while providing practical psychological strategies and reflections for patients, caregivers and healthcare providers.
This memoir encapsulates and reflects on the challenges of having six different cancer diagnoses, beginning at age 5 and continuing into her 60s. However, more than a chronicle of survival, Gray's story is a celebration of life, love, adventure and resilience. It is about finding purpose and meaning in life in spite of the obstacles. Here, the author brings a unique perspective to the cancer journey — not only as a long-term survivor but also as a registered nurse, midwife and clinical psychologist. The book blends lived experience with professional insight, offering simple psychological strategies and encouragement to those going through cancer diagnosis, treatment and its aftermath.
"I want to show people that a cancer diagnosis is not always a death sentence," says Gray. "You don't have to be courageous. Courage builds one step at a time. Just take the first step and let others help you."
According to the World Health Organization, cancer remains a leading cause of death globally. "I am Still Here: Living With Multiple Cancer Diagnoses" aims to shift the narrative from fear to resilience.
