Beating Cancer with Faith, Optimism, and Humor

  




Fabiana Da Silva had been living and teaching in the United States for only few years when she met the prince she had been searching for her entire life. After they married on May 4, 2013, they shared beautiful moments for seven months until the day Fabiana received a shocking diagnosis. She had leukemia. In a heartwarming retelling, Fabiana leads others chronologically through her life in the days before the diagnosis as she excitedly prepared for a trip to Brazil, through her symptoms that ultimately steered her to a diagnosis, her treatments and their impact on her marriage, and her positive outlook through it all. As she candidly brings each moment to life, Fabiana encourages others to keep their faith, hope, and humor during their own health challenges so that they, too, can live in the present and embrace every moment, good or bad.
