Verified Purchaser

This true story should be read by every person who has been diagnosed with or who has ever suffered from cancer. Their loved ones will also benefit from reading this autobiographical account.

The author has an impressive memory for details and gives an excellent account of everything that she went through during that trying period from her diagnosis to the successful treatment of the disease.

She narrates, in-depth, all her experiences during her treatment, including her personal feelings, her understandable fears, and even financial matters. Displaying an exceptionally lucid memory, she remembers every single person who supported her during that period and every single little detail including the hurricane that struck Miami after her second chemotherapy session and the inconveniences incurred about electricity in the house and gas for the car.

She also remembers every restaurant she ate in Miami and everyone who visited her. Her memory of every important date is extremely remarkable.
During all the upheavals, the author never lost her faith in God.

Her undaunting faith upheld her and comforted her during this dark period of her life. Her story clearly demonstrates that faith in God surmounts all obstacles.

Everyone with a dread disease or fatal illness should read this book.

The book makes easy reading and the style is almost conversational.

One gets the feeling that the author is speaking directly to the reader. It is an intensely personal narration and I recommend this book highly.

THE MIAMI BOOK FAIR

The Miami Book Fair 2018 was a festival of literary arts.

Over 300 renowned authors arranged to take part.

In an exhibition of valuable literature collection,

In individual pavilions in a weeklong celebration.

Millions of books in multiple languages could be found

With book signings and musical entertainment all around.

Thousands of book lovers flocked to downtown Miami,

For the event hosted in Miami Dade County.

Award winning books were displayed in a booth

By the Readers Favorite International group.

My books among others were sold to worldwide charities.

A great way for us authors to give back to the communities.

It was quite an occasion for authors to meet book sellers,

Major publishing houses, and foreign publishers.

In this International Festival of Authors and activity,

Promoting reading and awareness of literacy.

Many authors gave away books for free.

They were not concerned with collecting money.

Getting great book reviews is more fun.

And prove to be valuable in the long run.

"I Am Cancer Free by Mrs. Brenda C. Mohammed is the poignant memoir of the author's personal battle with cancer.

The memoir recounts from the time of diagnosis the experiences the author went through during the treatment, her emotions, fears, finances, until the successful treatment of the disease.
It is a courageous story of survival, faith, and strength.
The author chronicles every step of her journey methodically, without leaving anything out, making the narration very personal, honest, and palpable to readers.
The presence of God in everyone's life, a positive attitude, and the power of prayers run through the memoir.

Awards Ceremony Tips and Itinerary Social Media Hashtag: #ReadersFavoriteMiami2018

The Regency Hotel Miami provides a free shuttle to and from the airport, as well as to a few other local destinations.
When you exit the airport, you will be outside the Departures level where you will see all of the cabs, buses and shuttles.
The shuttle for the hotel is on a permanent loop and will be by about every 30 minutes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Just keep an eye out for a van or shuttle bus with Regency Hotel on the side and wave them down when they approach.
You can also take a cab from the same area.
The hotel is only about 2 miles away.


When you check in, be sure to put a copy of your book on the check-in counter.
The hotel loves having the Readers’ Favorite group and wants to help you show off your book and has invited everyone to put their books up for display on the counter.
We pretty much sell out the entire hotel, so just about everyone you meet or pass in the elevator is a Readers’ Favorite author or guest.
So don’t forget to carry your book around everywhere you go and you will be surprised at how easy it is to strike up conversations and meet your fellow authors.


The Miami Book Fair International is about 7 miles away from the hotel, and unless you have a rental car, the best way to get there is by taxi. However, we have negotiated a reduced rate shared ride to and from the book fair on Saturday.
The cost is $15 per person round trip (cash or credit card).
The vans leave Saturday morning at 10am from the Regency Hotel Miami lobby. You do not have to sign up, just be in the lobby a few minutes before 10. When they drop you off they will explain when to return for pickup, which is generally around 2pm.

Days of Poetry

Before I started writing books I began to write poetry.
In 2007 after my bout with cancer I wrote this poem and won an award for it.
I have included the poem in my book, I am Cancer Free - A Memoir available on AMAZON

A TRUE TALE

I awoke dazed, confused, where could I be?
Suddenly recalling I just had surgery.
Hooked up to machines, nurses surrounding my
Bed,
I closed my eyes and covered my head.

The doctor entered, her head bowed,
She uttered that I needed to go abroad,
The surgery was incomplete, and she was sorry.
A malignant tumor was discovered in my left
ovary.

My husband and I gasped in disbelief.
Fate had bestowed on me such grief.
We thought it was a simple hysterectomy.
I now needed chemotherapy and more surgery.

We immediately flew to Miami,
Where our daughter arranged for me to see
An oncologist at a cancer center;
No other doctor could have been better.


His diagnosis and treatment were very exact,
He prescribed three chemos to stop the cancer
attack.
He operated and removed successfully,
Every piece of the tumor that almost killed me.

I am now at home with my beloved family.
I now know how much they love me.
They were at my side as far as I recall,
And God was most faithful throughout it all.

Review by Marie Author – I am Cancer Free
Published on Nov 21, 2016(Today)

Guess what i just got in the mail - Brenda Mohammed's book I am Cancer Free
Let me tell you about this book. The book was short and is a great read.
If you are battling cancer or know someone who is, this is a fantastic book to read.
Brenda tells her journey of going through cancer and surviving, and not only surviving but also coming out cancer free.
One of the things that stood out for me in this book is that I am NOT going through cancer, nor do I have anyone in my family who
have, so there are certain preconceived notions I have about what cancer treatment is like, and how it should be addressed by the people around them. So this book really takes you step-by-step.

You understand what the treatments are like. You understand how the body reacts and gives you great ideas on how you can go ahead and help somebody who's in that situation. There were things that I learned from this book - like to call the person, ask if they want to go shopping,
take them a meal, or take them out to eat things that I would be thinking they're too tired or too sick to do. By reading this book I realize those are great things to do.
This was really a fantastic read.
You're going to enjoy it.
Like I said it's short so it's not something that someone who is going through the cancer treatment wouldn't have the ability to read.
It is very short and simple to the point of encouraging.
It's got all the glory.
I think you're going to love it so check out I am Cancer Free by Brenda Mohammed.
Go check it on Amazon today or you can check out her website at the link below.
