The year 2014 started with great promise. Author Cathy Dillard Byrum's youngest son, Dan, had graduated college, had a new job, and was moving to a nearby town. Her oldest son, Derick, returned home after two years overseas and proposed to his girlfriend, Jill. Then came the news no one expects and everyone dreads. Cathy was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, and the prognosis was grim. In I Shall Not Die, she narrates her story, including details about treatment, losing her hair, an emergency ride on a helicopter, and a stem cell transplant. Cathy offers an inside look at her battle with cancer, and she shares what it took for her to make it to her son's wedding and beyond. I Shall Not Die offers a brave, open memoir that focuses on Cathy's experience with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, including how she dealt with it physically and emotionally. She tells how she stayed strong through the grace of God and the love of her family and friends. Her story serves to inspire others facing adversity. | I Shall Not Die by Cathy Dillard Byrum, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
