You’re in luck! I just published my book, it’s on Amazon now and is called The Dead Girl’s Guide To Terminal Cancer. My husband and I wrote it together, as he was my care nurse the year I was sick 💜
@@EugeniaHoranI’m just very cynical and I can’t hold my tongue. But I’m also pretty nice too. You’re attractive and I like your art (see?). The book comment was pretty on the nose. So if I’m wrong, I apologize. But if I’m right, just own it. It’s great marketing, but you should own it.
Losing lots of weight.........bleeding through the mouth and the doctor just says: "ah, it's anxiety." What the f is wrong with these doctors? How can anyone not suspect cancer with those symptoms? 😢😢😢😢
I also smoked for 30 years, so it was pretty hard to figure out.. But in all seriousness, it was because I was 46. You can’t get lung cancer until your 50, the Golden Standard says so 😉
@@EugeniaHoran I never knew that, was, the golden standard.... You'd think because!, you smoked for 30 years, lung cancer would be the first thing their minds went to! I have smoked in the past, for 40 years. i'm fortunate so far.
@@blueskyswan it had recently been lowered to 50, from 55. I *think* it might have been 60 at one time. The “rules” for who can get lung cancer and is allowed screening are an intricate puzzle few pass, and many die from. 4 months after i was dx, my husband’s mother was. She was certainly of the right age, but hadn’t smoked since literally the 1970’s. It took her months to get a diagnosis -for 3 months her doctor insisted her cough was allergies. Like one gets in Buffalo in the winter… We lost her in 2020, and so every day I’m aware of how lucky i truly am. And every day, i also feel guilty. Life is never really simple, it seems.
@@veronicapino3733 the treatments make it hard. There are so many alternative cures out there but not covered by insurance or approved as treatment here in the US so people have to go toMexico and pay cash to get these therapies done.
I'm happy things worked out for you! It's so frustrating navigating the health industry and having complex mental health issues. I have experienced the same thing. Doctors expect your ptsd anxiety and adhd symptoms to stop existing while you are trying to also get to all these stress inducing appointments and tests. My oncologist told me he was there to treat my health issues, and he didn't care about my feelings. He actually doesn't work in that office anymore, thankfully, because he was such a cold-hearted person for someone who's supposed to help people. I was scared to get my biopsy because the last one I had was extremely painful, and he was refusing to allow me to have sedation even though it was supposed to be an option. I got the impression he just wanted to force me to do it his way even though it was stressing me out more. They have been better about allowing me to do appointments by phone and schedule them later in the day if I need to go in person so I have more time to get ready in the morning and prepare myself. I will never be cured of my disease, but hopefully, it can be managed by compassionate doctors for the remainder of my life.
I now can handle those doctors with ease, but when I started treatment I couldn’t walk anymore and was just a skeleton that people viewed as a burden. I was kept sedated, to the point where I no longer really react to sedation due to how high my dose(s) were for so long. The opioid epidemic has nothing on end stage cancer 😂
I’m thriving, no worries! In the end I wrote a book to highlight the clear patient abuse I suffered, because it was thought I wouldn’t live to tell. But had I been a good patient and stayed on chemo, I’d most likely be dead. So, I’ll take the no-symptom side effect free complete recovery and the ability to be able to tell people how they just might be able to do the same, and never trust doctor knows best because I had 3 hospitals worth of yikes!
You’ve got an incredible story to tell. Plenty of people with similar experiences being gaslit via the health care system. Thanks for sharing and Good luck ❤
You are amazing ! I’m nothing like you but did manage to get a “normal” biopsy because they managed to biopsy the wrong hip even though I protested they didn’t know left from right. The incompetence is worldwide
@ was fast tracked to another hospital to have the “difficult to reach” tumour biopsied.

@@jenniferjuniper9118most welcome! I was surprised when I realized stage 4 cancer has a treatment protocol, and none of it is curative. They don’t really spell that out, but it’s why stage 4 has always been considered terminal - curative treatment stops. Immunotherapy reversing stage 4 cancer was a complete accident and a surprise, as it certainly wasn’t supposed to make the cancer go away… in the beginning it was given to only stage 4 patients for pain relief (which is why I couldn’t get it at dx - I was stage 3a. The next month I’d be stage 4 😂 But yeah, cancer is a pretty hard terrain to navigate, and no one is real big on handing out maps! But I’m glad you have your GPS on and are fighting. Always fight.

I had 6 days with that doctor on his last trial rotation before he went from NY to MD Anderson. His considerably more youthful outlook on cancer would help me immeasurably when I met the jaded embittered crew that was all that followed 😂
Doctors all over the world are just unbelievable!!! Do they not take anything serious? God bless you. I am so sorry for anyone having to go through this. It just shouldn’t happen. 🙏🏼 ps: I have a fear of vomiting too!!!
Thanks! Little by little, day by day, I work at letting them know assuming my life had no value was a pretty big mistake. And assuming there was, as i was quoted, 0% odds i would survive - was an even bigger mistake. I wrote a very big book, and put oh so many of their notes about me in it, so I could show people how an assumed dying patient is discussed. I have a goal to make them all think twice next time they try to dispose of a human who is so sick it’s ’inconvenient.’ 🙂
Thank you. No reason to give up. You give up, you die. Besides that my husband’s mother was dx with lung cancer 4 months after I was, and I’d be damned if life did that to him. So I fought for him, and me.
You are not only a lovely woman but an inspiration . I admire your tenacity & stubbornly attitude. I know you said you’re an artist but I consider you a motivational speaker as well! Best wishes going forward!❤
I wanted to add that as a retired nurse I’m ashamed of how you were treated by some of the medical “professionals” you had the misfortune to deal with.NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER GIVE IN!❤
@@AngelsInOurMidstthank you! It’s something I’m very passionate about and work to bring awareness to, because I was by far not the only cancer patient I saw discarded due to… poor health? There was a great deal of abuse in the icu, which is why I wrote a book about my story, because if I didn’t warn people what can happen, I don’t think I’d be worthy of getting my life back. So, I made it my passion project - trying to save the others.
Here’s hoping that immunotherapy can continue to make advances and displace chemo in the minds of healthcare providers. Best wishes to you for your continued good health!
From your lips. I put myself forward as evidence that platinum chemo isn’t necessary with immuno if someone has a good PD-L1 score. Or, they at least deserve to be able to have a round to see if they respond, because the entire reason chemo was added and made mandatory was “in the case that people didnt respond.” But,… ? I’ve spoken to countless doctors about this, and they have never made it make sense.
It’s the by-product of making health a for profit industry. As bad as my ICU stay was, and even though I was sent to Hospice at the conclusion - it still cost 2 million dollars for my 25 day stay, and my hardest fight was to get OUT because having a low maintenance patient on a vent was over a million dollars. My slowly dying in the hospital was a for profit event.
Thanks! I’m a lot healthier now and I’ve got a pretty big vitamin/supplement routine so I stay healthy and don’t have side effects from immunotherapy acquired hypothyroidism or menopause. 💜
Thank you! I’m pretty proud because I was my dietician and I worked really hard to put myself back together from what I was in those photos. Apparently when you go to hospice, you give up access to luxuries like a dietician, nutritionist… physical therapist. Still hopeful I’ll get to see a pulmonologist someday! 🙌🏻
@@karenhenley2195 my weight was a long story. I weighed 98 pounds my whole life, so I never had a big surplus. Cancer took an original weight hit. Than I tried a keto diet which took me down to 80. Then not being fed in the ICU was the last nail in- I went down to 60. It’s why I wrote a book about my story - it’s more complicated! I am a solo Keytruda super responder, considered complete response. I have no cancer. All tumors were gone within 3 months, and I have been off keytruda now for 4 years.
First cancer. Then a diet that keeps getting removed. Then the lack of feeding in the ICU was almost terminal. I’ve been cancer-free over 5 years, but still considered terminal bc the system needs an overhaul for the Keytruda Super responders. No tumors, no cancer, have had no treatment in 4 years. 💜
@EugeniaHoran You will be alive 60 years from now! I am not sure if hospitals today are trying to save us or kill us. Your wedding picture included in your story was absolutely gorgeous. Enjoy every day your long, long life.
@@karenhenley2195 well, I prove in my book that my doctors were trying to kill me, because i published their notes. That was edited out, except for the ‘fed 4 times in 25 days’ part. I get it though. It’s not their fight. I will live, fueled by anger and trying to make oncology less of a … unknown for patients. The renaissance of treatments has overwhelmed a lot of doctors, combined with having too many patients and not enough time to learn the new drugs. Your life really is in who you choose as a doctor much of the time, and what a frightening thing it is for me to tell people that.
Totally agree with @leighhamrick. Truth is stranger than fiction. This woman is a walking talking force to be reckoned with. A story of genuine hope and strength.
This has a very ugly and complicated answer. And I’m not sure what I can say that the filter won’t remove my comment. But I’ll say - my doctor did not like me, and a lot of rules were broken and lies told. It’s why I wrote a book they have linked in the video description. I’m not afraid of being sued, I would love to prove my case 😅
Amazing story. The drug didn't save you, your own immune system saved you with a little help. Cancer is primarily an immune issue and not a cancer cell issue.
An Anecdote: by the time I started Keytruda, the tumor load (and pleural effusion) in my right lung was so large it had crashed my upper right lobe into the middle lobe hovering in the third lobe. Completely useless lung for about 6 months. 15 days after my first infusion, that lung spontaneously, and completely reinflated. That wasnt a little help. That was actual pounds of cancer gone in 2 weeks. We all need a little help to survive sometimes.
@@EugeniaHoran Thank you for your response. I am taken aback by what you went through. You survived against all odds. Yes, maybe more than a little help but the real hero was in you all along. Immune drugs are amazing when they do work but unfortunately they do not work in many people for various reasons. My wife has so far survived advanced stage 4 breast cancer (liver/lungs/lymph/bones/brain) over a 10 year period. This included 3 months in a hospital (3 weeks in a coma) after a botched liver biopsy where she nearly died. The cancer advanced despite all manner of conventional/alternative treatment. We spent years researching cancer and finally started to realize that cancer is primarily a failure of the immune/gut microbiota systems. We combined various immune/gut enhancing adjuncts to an immune checkpoint inhibitor and for the first time in 10 years all her cancer regressed and she has been NED for over a year. I am so glad to see how well it worked for you. I wish you continued good health

@@officespaceredstapler2287 oh I’m aware of the gut connection - I’m also highly aware that the amount of cryoblation i had in my coma likely had me pretty primed for immuno. My husband’s mother had lung cancer the same time as i did, so I know far too well immuno doesn’t save everyone, especially the way it is used now. I did my fair share of alt treatments, all failed. Chemo failed. Even i failed, as i was supposed to die on far too many nights in the ICU and i refused. I don’t like being told what to do 😉
@EugeniaHoran some people were hypothesizing thar biofilm was forming plaque, tumors, and causing cancer, autoimmune, etc and pathogens were forming many biofilms?
@EugeniaHoran very happy u pulled through, u look amazing, u look 20 years younger, just looked up the keytruda (immunotherapy), possibly would only be terminal from a high dose herxhiemer reaction guessing?
@@AnonymousanonymousAin 2019 you needed to be stage 3b to get it. I was 3a at dx. Insurance will allow chemo inpatient - but not Keytruda. By the time I got back to my doctor, she thought I was ‘too sick’ at 4b and it would kill me. That’s a 3 month Timelapse of the excuses 😂
Yes and no. Since I arrived in Hospice with 3 days to live due to malnutrition from only being fed 4x’s in the ICU, would you say they saved my life? Because they sure didn’t want to. Then it was my husband who physically carried me out of Hospice to beg for immunotherapy from a doctor that for a solid amount of time refused, and then let me have the drug - but didn’t treat me. I’ve been my oncologist, nutritionist, physical therapist, psychologist, pulmonologist all because o apparently gave up the right to access these luxuries when I went to Hospice - which I begged to go to so I could eat - which saved my life. Please don’t judge my story by a 20 minute edit. I’ll put it this way: my main icu doctor told me I deserved to die, and that I should. That I was a drain on his resources, and the resources of the people who were paying for my stay. That I should stop fighting, and die. I’m never going to call him a hero.
It was proven my Attending was withholding food to facilitate my death. He purposefully ignored 3 other doctors ordering me to be fed -aside from my husband and MYSELF. To my ICU nurses, he told them I had Refeeding Syndrome, which I had tested negative for and which most should know not feeding is not even the cure for it! But the real clue was that he told me I was going to starve to death in a glorious speech every morning. One of the reasons I wrote a book, is so I could show the doctors and nurse notes. I prove my case. I don’t need to convince you, I can prove everything I say.

You are not only a lovely woman but an inspiration . I admire your tenacity & stubbornly attitude. I know you said you’re an artist but I consider you a motivational speaker as well! Best wishes going forward!❤
I wanted to add that as a retired nurse I’m ashamed of how you were treated by some of the medical “professionals” you had the misfortune to deal with.NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER GIVE IN!❤
@@AngelsInOurMidstthank you! It’s something I’m very passionate about and work to bring awareness to, because I was by far not the only cancer patient I saw discarded due to… poor health? There was a great deal of abuse in the icu, which is why I wrote a book about my story, because if I didn’t warn people what can happen, I don’t think I’d be worthy of getting my life back. So, I made it my passion project - trying to save the others.
@@EugeniaHoran What is the title of your book & where can one find it? Have a great day!
@@AngelsInOurMidst The link to the book is in the Transcript and video description in my Patient Story, but it’s online in kindle and hardcover. 💜
I hope you're still around for a long time.
@@PerryNight-gc3fp I’m absolutely fine now, 4 years off treatment. They can’t get rid of me that easy 😉
Here’s hoping that immunotherapy can continue to make advances and displace chemo in the minds of healthcare providers. Best wishes to you for your continued good health!
From your lips. I put myself forward as evidence that platinum chemo isn’t necessary with immuno if someone has a good PD-L1 score. Or, they at least deserve to be able to have a round to see if they respond, because the entire reason chemo was added and made mandatory was “in the case that people didnt respond.” But,… ? I’ve spoken to countless doctors about this, and they have never made it make sense.
I hope u are well now. God bless you❤❤❤❤
I am perfectly healthy, thank you so much 💜
You are an amazing human being!!! Thank you so much for sharing your story!
Thank you for listening 💜
The amount of medical negligence globally, is just astounding and just plain evil 🙏🏻❤️🇦🇺
It’s the by-product of making health a for profit industry.
As bad as my ICU stay was, and even though I was sent to Hospice at the conclusion - it still cost 2 million dollars for my 25 day stay, and my hardest fight was to get OUT because having a low maintenance patient on a vent was over a million dollars. My slowly dying in the hospital was a for profit event.
You are like a rock. I don't understand that you are 50, you must be a highlander, you don't age.
I’m actually 52, but in complete transparency I was 51 when this was recorded. So that probably helps 😂
i’m sending my love and prayers✝️🙏🏻❤️
Wowwhat a story. The will to ive is real and the mins is very powerful.
How did these so called doctors get their licenses?????😢😢😢😢
Exactly what I said!! Unacceptable!
You look so young 😲
Thanks! I’m a lot healthier now and I’ve got a pretty big vitamin/supplement routine so I stay healthy and don’t have side effects from immunotherapy acquired hypothyroidism or menopause. 💜
Wow! You look Beautiful and Healthy! This is what fighting looks like. Congrats!!
Thank you! I’m pretty proud because I was my dietician and I worked really hard to put myself back together from what I was in those photos. Apparently when you go to hospice, you give up access to luxuries like a dietician, nutritionist… physical therapist. Still hopeful I’ll get to see a pulmonologist someday! 🙌🏻
Why were you continuing to lose so much weight? Are you now in cancer remission? Are all the tumors gone?
@@karenhenley2195 my weight was a long story. I weighed 98 pounds my whole life, so I never had a big surplus. Cancer took an original weight hit. Than I tried a keto diet which took me down to 80. Then not being fed in the ICU was the last nail in- I went down to 60. It’s why I wrote a book about my story - it’s more complicated! I am a solo Keytruda super responder, considered complete response. I have no cancer. All tumors were gone within 3 months, and I have been off keytruda now for 4 years.
First cancer. Then a diet that keeps getting removed. Then the lack of feeding in the ICU was almost terminal. I’ve been cancer-free over 5 years, but still considered terminal bc the system needs an overhaul for the Keytruda Super responders. No tumors, no cancer, have had no treatment in 4 years. 💜
@EugeniaHoran You will be alive 60 years from now! I am not sure if hospitals today are trying to save us or kill us. Your wedding picture included in your story was absolutely gorgeous. Enjoy every day your long, long life.
@@karenhenley2195 well, I prove in my book that my doctors were trying to kill me, because i published their notes. That was edited out, except for the ‘fed 4 times in 25 days’ part. I get it though. It’s not their fight. I will live, fueled by anger and trying to make oncology less of a … unknown for patients. The renaissance of treatments has overwhelmed a lot of doctors, combined with having too many patients and not enough time to learn the new drugs. Your life really is in who you choose as a doctor much of the time, and what a frightening thing it is for me to tell people that.
EUGENIA YOU CAN BEAT THIS CANCER STAY STRONG MY FRIEND
Spoiler: I already did. That’s kinda what the video is about. Cancer free 5 years!
Eat healthy we never give up! Lov ❤
God is strength and a warrior for your soul ❤ He cares for youu
Totally agree with @leighhamrick. Truth is stranger than fiction. This woman is a walking talking force to be reckoned with. A story of genuine hope and strength.
Thank you! That was a really nice compliment and so refreshing compared to what my doctors call me 😂 💜
4:12 1 CT scan has the equivalent of 400 to 1,100 x-rays worth of radiation? which can make pathogens more virulent and cancer more aggressive?
Why weren't they feeding you?
This has a very ugly and complicated answer. And I’m not sure what I can say that the filter won’t remove my comment. But I’ll say - my doctor did not like me, and a lot of rules were broken and lies told. It’s why I wrote a book they have linked in the video description. I’m not afraid of being sued, I would love to prove my case 😅
I wish you the very best, beautiful sweet soul 🥹🙏🩷
Likewise 💜
@EugeniaHoran Thank you 🩷
Amazing story. The drug didn't save you, your own immune system saved you with a little help. Cancer is primarily an immune issue and not a cancer cell issue.
An Anecdote: by the time I started Keytruda, the tumor load (and pleural effusion) in my right lung was so large it had crashed my upper right lobe into the middle lobe hovering in the third lobe. Completely useless lung for about 6 months. 15 days after my first infusion, that lung spontaneously, and completely reinflated. That wasnt a little help. That was actual pounds of cancer gone in 2 weeks. We all need a little help to survive sometimes.
@@EugeniaHoran Thank you for your response. I am taken aback by what you went through. You survived against all odds. Yes, maybe more than a little help but the real hero was in you all along. Immune drugs are amazing when they do work but unfortunately they do not work in many people for various reasons. My wife has so far survived advanced stage 4 breast cancer (liver/lungs/lymph/bones/brain) over a 10 year period. This included 3 months in a hospital (3 weeks in a coma) after a botched liver biopsy where she nearly died. The cancer advanced despite all manner of conventional/alternative treatment. We spent years researching cancer and finally started to realize that cancer is primarily a failure of the immune/gut microbiota systems. We combined various immune/gut enhancing adjuncts to an immune checkpoint inhibitor and for the first time in 10 years all her cancer regressed and she has been NED for over a year. I am so glad to see how well it worked for you. I wish you continued good health
Oh and your art is really cool............very talented............

Too much water drowned the miller: Akkermansia determines immunotherapy responses
@@officespaceredstapler2287 oh I’m aware of the gut connection - I’m also highly aware that the amount of cryoblation i had in my coma likely had me pretty primed for immuno. My husband’s mother had lung cancer the same time as i did, so I know far too well immuno doesn’t save everyone, especially the way it is used now. I did my fair share of alt treatments, all failed. Chemo failed. Even i failed, as i was supposed to die on far too many nights in the ICU and i refused. I don’t like being told what to do 😉
Umm diet and skin care routine please
I don’t really have a special diet. Skincare I guess right now is Dermalogica, because I get pretty dry skin from menopause and hypothyroidism 🤷🏻♀️
Panic disorder parhogenic plaque around the heart or lungs?
Nope, plaque free
@EugeniaHoran some people were hypothesizing thar biofilm was forming plaque, tumors, and causing cancer, autoimmune, etc and pathogens were forming many biofilms?
@EugeniaHoran very happy u pulled through, u look amazing, u look 20 years younger, just looked up the keytruda (immunotherapy), possibly would only be terminal from a high dose herxhiemer reaction guessing?
@@EugeniaHoranstrange how they tried to discourage you from taking it
@@AnonymousanonymousAin 2019 you needed to be stage 3b to get it. I was 3a at dx. Insurance will allow chemo inpatient - but not Keytruda. By the time I got back to my doctor, she thought I was ‘too sick’ at 4b and it would kill me.
That’s a 3 month Timelapse of the excuses 😂
51😮😮 ?!!
I’m 52 as of 12/5 💜
❤🙏👍best wishes
You look much younger, what’s your secret? Tretionin ?
I have no idea, I didn’t realize I looked young 😂 but thank you! I don’t really have any specific routine but vitamins and supplements 🤷🏻♀️
@ wow, good genes then!
bro, you look like 30
the entire story was her attacking her medical team that saved her lifs
Yes and no. Since I arrived in Hospice with 3 days to live due to malnutrition from only being fed 4x’s in the ICU, would you say they saved my life? Because they sure didn’t want to. Then it was my husband who physically carried me out of Hospice to beg for immunotherapy from a doctor that for a solid amount of time refused, and then let me have the drug - but didn’t treat me. I’ve been my oncologist, nutritionist, physical therapist, psychologist, pulmonologist all because o apparently gave up the right to access these luxuries when I went to Hospice - which I begged to go to so I could eat - which saved my life.
Please don’t judge my story by a 20 minute edit.
I’ll put it this way: my main icu doctor told me I deserved to die, and that I should. That I was a drain on his resources, and the resources of the people who were paying for my stay. That I should stop fighting, and die.
I’m never going to call him a hero.
@ i’ve been an icu nurse usually we don’t feed because ppl can’t eat
It was proven my Attending was withholding food to facilitate my death. He purposefully ignored 3 other doctors ordering me to be fed -aside from my husband and MYSELF. To my ICU nurses, he told them I had Refeeding Syndrome, which I had tested negative for and which most should know not feeding is not even the cure for it! But the real clue was that he told me I was going to starve to death in a glorious speech every morning.
One of the reasons I wrote a book, is so I could show the doctors and nurse notes. I prove my case. I don’t need to convince you, I can prove everything I say.
