I'm Still Here

A Pancreatic Cancer Survivor's Healing Kitchen

By Christine Wells

Overview

"I'm Still Here" is more than a cookbook—it's a testament to resilience, gratitude, and the remarkable capacity of the human spirit to heal. After a pancreatic cancer diagnosis changed the course of her life, Christine Wells embarked on a journey that led her to embrace nourishing foods, holistic wellness practices, and a deeper appreciation for each day.

Through the challenges of treatment and recovery, she discovered that healing extends beyond the physical body. Practices such as gratitude, mindfulness, movement, laughter, nature, music, and meaningful connection became an important part of her daily life, helping her cultivate hope and strength even in difficult moments.

Inspired by this experience, Christine created I'm Still Here as a celebration of life, healing, and second chances. More than a collection of recipes, this book invites readers to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and embrace a more intentional way of living. It is a reminder that even during life's greatest challenges, there is always reason to find hope, nourish the soul, and move forward with gratitude.
