After 25 years and 17 separate tumours, Marie Preston relates how she has refused to allow cancer to deny her of her faith, her love of family & friends, and her drive to serve her local community. These truly inspirational memoirs of a life full of astounding achievements, including representing the Anglican Church of Aotearoa/New Zealand (2013) on the world stage by presenting a paper on behalf of the Faith Nursing Community - Marie is frequently asked to share her life-affirming stories of courage and commitment while Living with Cancer.Within this book, Marie recounts the original diagnosis in the mid 90s, a stage 4 tumour on her head with a prognosis of only a handful of years to live. Marie shares this journey with this heinous affliction, defying all odds on many occasions to live a full and active life.In “This is Living with Cancer,” Marie openly shares how she has not allowed cancer to become a catastrophic interruption to life, but how she has chosen to carry on with life in the face of death.Now in her 70s with 3 children and 5 grandchildren, Marie is not tumour free, and continues with regular visits to her oncologist, however, she remains a beacon of hope and light to other cancer patients in her community and a huge support to their families and friends.
