A raw, honest memoir of illness, identity, and learning to choose life on your own terms.

The Cancer Diet is a raw and emotionally honest memoir that follows the months after my cancer diagnosis in late 2023 and the sudden death of my brother. Written across hospital rooms, quiet corners of Greenville, South Carolina, and moments of deep personal reckoning, this book explores grief, identity, and survival. It blends journal entries, memories, and messages exchanged with those closest to me—including my birth mother, whom I connected with for the first time during this same period. What began as an effort to stay alive became a deeper journey into trauma, love, and the quiet, defiant choice to keep going. This is not a story about beating cancer or fixing grief—it's about telling the truth while you're still here.
