Escape From Planet Cancer – The Real Story

What happens when cancer turns your life upside down—and surviving it is only part of the story?

In Escape From Planet Cancer: The Real Story, Tim Williams shares the raw, deeply personal and often surprisingly humorous account of his journey through mouth cancer, major surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and the long road to recovery.

But behind the physical battle was another struggle—one involving loneliness, depression, fractured expectations and difficult questions about faith, church and where God can be found when life no longer makes sense.

With honesty, vulnerability and his trademark sense of humour, Tim takes readers beyond the diagnosis and into the emotional reality of cancer: the fear, exhaustion, gratitude, grief and unexpected moments of hope. Supported by his devoted wife, family and an extraordinary medical team, he discovers that healing is about far more than becoming cancer-free.

This is not simply a story about surviving cancer. It is a story about being changed by it—and discovering that sometimes escaping “Planet Cancer” means learning how to live again.
