She was treated at a nationally renowned cancer hospital, but passed about 5 months later. Part of the hospital regimen, in addition to chemo, was THC pills to fight nausea and encourage appetite.

It's about one of the worst, if not the worst, types of cancer you can get. It hides undetected and often asymptomatic for many years until is spreads. At that point, it's firmly anchored in other your vitals and is usually unresponsive to aggressive treatment. Once the liver becomes overwhelmed, death quickly follows. There is less than a 5% recovery rate. What you're seeing in the video is one of those rare instances of recovery. Although it was stage 4, it may have also just barely spread. Those are the most optimistic cases.
