Beating the Cancer Odds: The Day I Stopped Fighting and Started Living With It - NOW AVAILABLE IN ENGLISH
Beating the Cancer Odds — Now Available in English
After weeks of working through every sentence, reliving some of the hardest moments of my life, and translating not just words but emotions — I can finally say:
My book is now available in English.
Beating the Cancer Odds — the English version of Cáncer, la penúltima palabra — is officially out on Amazon. HAVE A LOOK AT IT
You can find my book by going to your country’s Amazon site and searching for 'Núria Ovejero' or 'Beating the Cancer Odds'.
And it’s no coincidence that I chose August 8th to release it.
This day holds deep meaning for me. It’s the birthday of my beloved Tieta, who passed away just months before my first book was published. She supported me through every stage of my illness and believed in me when I didn’t. Publishing this English edition on her birthday is my quiet way of honoring her.
✨ What is Beating the Cancer Odds? ✨
This book is not just a memoir. It’s not just a story about cancer.
It’s a story about what comes after — after fear, after grief, after being told your days are numbered.
It begins when I was 25 and diagnosed with advanced colon cancer.
And then — metastasis.
Then: no more surgical options.
Then: “You might want to move your wedding up... if you still want to make it.”
But this book is not about dying.
It’s about living, in every sense of the word.
Choosing to live fully, fiercely, even in the face of devastating odds.
At 27, cancer returned. I shattered. And then, slowly, I began to rebuild — physically, emotionally, spiritually. I changed everything: how I ate, how I thought, how I loved, how I showed up in the world.
I turned pain into purpose.
Fear into fuel.
Statistics into stories — my own.
💫 A Promise Kept 💫
This book was born from a promise I made to myself:
If I survive, I’ll share my story. Not as advice. But as possibility.
Because if even one person sees themselves in these pages —
If even one heart dares to hope again —
Then it was worth every word.
🐾 A Special Dedication 🐾
I’ve also dedicated this English edition to someone very special: my dog, Bongo, who left us nearly four months ago.
He was with me through so many of the hardest days. His silent comfort, his loyal presence, his unconditional love — they were part of my healing too.
This book carries his spirit between its pages.
From My Heart to Yours
I’m 39 now. Still here. Still breathing. Still living.
And while I don’t know exactly why I’ve been given more time, I do know this:
I’m here to share.
To give voice to what’s often left unspoken.
To remind you that healing doesn’t always mean being cured — and that life, no matter how long or short, can still be full of beauty, meaning, and joy.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
Thank you for reading. For feeling. For staying.
If you feel called to, you can find Beating the Cancer Odds now on Amazon.
And if it touches you — I’d be deeply grateful if you shared it with someone who might need it too.
With all my love,
Núria
