At forty-four years old, W. W. Icenhour was building a life he had fought hard to reclaim. Married to his husband, Paul, working in healthcare, finishing his Master of Healthcare Administration, and serving in his church, he was moving forward with hope and purpose.
Then came the diagnosis that changed everything.
Still Holding On is Will's honest and deeply personal memoir of life with esophageal cancer. From the shock of diagnosis to the fear of treatment, from chemo and radiation to feeding tubes, weight loss, exhaustion, and uncertainty, this book tells the story of a man learning how to keep going when his body, mind, and faith were all being tested.
This is not a story about pretending to be strong. It is a story about being scared, being human, and still choosing to fight. It is about the love of family, the strength of faith, the support of church and community, and the quiet courage it takes to keep holding on one day at a time.
For anyone facing cancer, loving someone through it, or walking through a season of fear and uncertainty, this memoir is a reminder that even in the darkest moments, hope still has a voice.
You are not weak because you are afraid. You are not failing because you are tired. You are not alone. And your story is not over.
