United States, March 18, 2025 — A Remarkable Journey of Survival and Self-Belief

Eugenia Mancini Horan’s memoir, The Dead Girl’s Guide to Terminal Cancer: A True Story of Anxiety, Horror & Hope, has quickly captivated readers and earned its place as a bestseller in its category on Amazon. Horan’s story is not just about surviving terminal cancer—it’s about defying the impossible odds and taking control of her fate, when medical professionals had written her off as a dead girl on Medicaid.

Diagnosed with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in February 2019, by August Horan was given a 0% chance of survival. She was gravely ill, with a crushed lung and metastases throughout her small bowel. In The Dead Girl’s Guide to Terminal Cancer, Horan shares the intimate details of her harrowing experience, her lifelong struggle with anxiety, and how she fought for her life in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges, without ever being given an ounce of hope from the medical system.

What sets Horan’s story apart is not just her survival but the empowering message it sends to readers: that no matter how dire a situation may seem, there is always room for hope – and to never let anyone take that from you. Horan’s story is a testament to self-advocacy, determination, and the incredible power of absolutely refusing to give up on yourself.

An Unlikely Survivor: From Hospice to Cancer-Free

After receiving a terminal diagnosis in the ICU, Horan pleaded to be placed in hospice care, where her life expectancy was expected be less than 2 weeks. However, rather than accept death, she made a bold decision—one that would change the course of her life. With the unwavering support of her husband, Horan left hospice care, determined to receive immunotherapy. Despite facing skepticism from doctors, Horan’s persistence paid off. In under 3 months, her tumors vanished, and she finished 2019 healthy and with no trace of cancer.

The journey that Horan took was not easy, but her story is one of personal triumph against the backdrop of a flawed medical system. She not only survived cancer but emerged from her ordeal stronger than ever—without side effects from her illness or treatment. Her book offers readers a behind-the-scenes look at the personal, emotional, and medical battles she faced, giving them insight into the reality of living with terminal illness and fighting back.

The Story That Resonates: Hope, Struggle, and Resilience

What makes The Dead Girl’s Guide to Terminal Cancer stand out from other cancer memoirs is its raw honesty and its unflinching portrayal of the emotional journey that came with fighting a terminal illness. While the book provides an inside look into the medical system, it also sheds light on patient abuse, medical apathy, and how systemic flaws can hinder the recovery of patients.

The memoir also showcases Horan’s unique ability to find moments of joy, humor, and hope in the most unlikely of circumstances—traits that many cancer patients find invaluable during their own battles with illness. Horan’s journey is a reminder of the power of believing in oneself, and how taking control of your health and your treatments can result in life-saving changes.
