There are moments in life that redefine us — moments when pain becomes our teacher and survival our greatest art. The Effervescence of Life: My Cancer Days by ShyNing is one such story. It is not just a memoir; it is a mirror reflecting resilience, motherhood, and the undying human spirit that refuses to surrender even when life tests its limits.
In this poignant and deeply personal account, ShyNing invites readers into the most vulnerable chapter of her life — her battle with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. At just 29, a young mother of two, she found herself facing a diagnosis that would shake the very core of her being. Her children, barely old enough to comprehend her pain, became her reason to fight and live when giving up seemed easier.
What makes this book extraordinary is its raw honesty. Written in eight unfiltered, emotionally charged days, The Effervescence of Life is not a story of sorrow but of awakening — a powerful reminder that every moment of life, no matter how fleeting or fragile, is worth cherishing.
ShyNing writes, “Experiencing pain is difficult. Explaining that pain is most difficult.” Yet, through this book, she does the impossible — she gives pain a voice, turning suffering into strength and memory into meaning. The narrative flows like poetry, weaving reflections on love, fear, endurance, and the quiet strength of motherhood. Each page echoes her message: “Nothing lives for tomorrow. Tomorrow is just an expectation turning pages, not a reality.”
Born in Vallanghy, Nemmara, a serene village in Palakkad, Kerala, ShyNing is a law graduate and a dedicated public servant with the Kerala Government. Her life before cancer was full of dreams and responsibilities, but the illness transformed her perspective, teaching her to see beauty even in brokenness.
Through The Effervescence of Life – My Cancer Days, she doesn’t seek sympathy; she offers perspective. Her story is a reminder that even in the face of death, there can be rebirth — not of the body, but of spirit. Her courage to revisit her pain after a decade and document it with unflinching honesty makes this memoir deeply moving and inspirational.
For readers, this book is more than a story; it’s an experience. It asks them to pause, to feel, and to reflect on what truly matters. It’s for anyone who has known struggle, loss, or love — anyone who has looked for light in darkness and found it within themselves.
The Effervescence of Life: My Cancer Days is not just ShyNing’s journey — it is the story of every soul that has dared to live fully in the face of fear.
Now available across major platforms, this book will touch hearts, heal wounds, and remind us all that life, no matter how uncertain, is still effervescent.
