Description

When Niko Ford discovered a lump near her collarbone, she never imagined it would lead to a diagnosis of synovial sarcoma, one of the rarest and most aggressive soft tissue cancers. What followed was a fifteen-month battle that included chemotherapy, radiation, a fifteen-hour surgery, and the devastating news that she might never use her right hand again. Still Standing: She Was a Wife, a Mother, and a Woman of Faith. Then One Word Changed Everything. is a raw, honest, and deeply personal account of what it means to fight for your life while still trying to be a mother to your children, a partner to your husband, and a woman who refuses to let go of her faith. Niko does not paint a polished picture of survival. She shares the fear, the anger, the sleepless nights, the financial strain, the depression that followed surgery, and the long road of learning to live in a body that will never be exactly the same. But she also shares what carried her through. Her husband Michael, who prayed with her over the phone from the road. Her son Isaac, who showed up at the emergency room without hesitation. Her daughter Anaya, who cried the night they heard the word cancer, and who inspired her mother to keep going. Her doctors, her friends, her community, and above all, her God. If you are walking through cancer, chronic illness, or any battle that feels too heavy to carry, this book is for you. If you love someone who is fighting, this book is for you. And if you simply need to be reminded that it is possible to lose pieces of yourself and still rise again, this book is for you. You can cry, break, question, and struggle, and still stand.
