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 heartfelt story of resilience, hope, 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 of healing that led her to embrace nourishing foods, holistic wellness practices, and a deeper appreciation for each day. Through the challenges of treatment and recovery, Christine discovered that healing extends beyond the physical body. Practices such as gratitude, mindfulness, movement, laughter, time in nature, music, and meaningful connection became an essential part of her daily life, helping her cultivate hope, resilience, and strength even in life's most difficult moments. Inspired by her journey, Christine created I'm Still Here as a celebration of life, resilience, 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 in life's greatest challenges, there is always hope to be found, strength to be discovered, and beauty to be embraced—one nourishing meal and one day at a time.
