About the Book

Thank you for purchasing my book! 10% of the book proceeds go to METAvivor, a 501(c)(3) that raises and grants 100% of its funds to Metastatic Breast Cancer Research. Research that will help us live longer, and see our babies grow up. The rest of the proceeds are put into a fund for my son to continue supporting metastatic breast cancer research in my honor, after I have left this earth.

"When Life Hands You Cactuses, Make Margaritas" highlights my life's journey and the many ups and downs I have experienced - from the day I was born as a child of war in Lebanon through today, a 42-year-old mom living with the deadly Stage 4, Metastatic Breast Cancer.

My story is about experiencing war as a child, fleeing Lebanon on a smugglers boat, being an immigrant in Sweden, my fight for female independence from the patriarchal and conservative home I grew up in, my three love stories, my heartbreak, my longing for a child, my struggle with infertility, my surviving breast cancer twice by the age of 30 only to receive a death sentence at 37, my fun, successful career and how I achieved my dreams in the male-dominated tech industry, and how after 15 years of trying I became a mother at last. It's about my joy and passion for living life like there is no tomorrow and like I'm gonna live forever.

Throughout the years I've learned how to handle these challenges, survive and thrive from them, instead of laying down and giving up. I'm therefore including my 8 Ingredient Margarita Recipe on how to overcome challenges and thrive in life.

The Ingredients are:

RESILIENCE

CONFIDENCE

LOVE

FEAR

CHANGE

UNFUCKWITHABLE

HOPE

EMPOWERMENT

So, why am I writing a book about my life? This book is for me, my son, and it's for you. Me, because I need to cherish and celebrate the life I have had and still have before it is taken from me. My son, because he will most likely lose me way too soon. I believe hearing my story in my words will help him face and manage his grief. And you, because maybe, just maybe, you will find inspiration from my journey and ways to handle your own challenges in life.

Lots of love,
Adiba Barney
