00:00At 68 years old, Alla Feldbein trusted her doctors when they said her cancer was gone.
00:05But one shocking symptom made her question everything.
00:08Years after menopause, Alla started bleeding.
00:11That's when she was diagnosed with stage 1 endometrial cancer.
00:14Doctors removed her uterus and told her,
00:16no chemo, no radiation needed.
00:19But two years later?
00:20A relentless cough and stabbing pain in her side.
00:23Alla thought it was her gallbladder.
00:25Turns out, her lungs were covered in red blotches.
00:29Her doctor thought it might be a new cancer.
00:31But kept rescheduling her appointments.
00:34Frustrated and scared, Alla got a second opinion.
00:37Just days later, she started chemotherapy.
00:39Her cancer had spread. Stage 4.
00:42After lung surgery and one failed clinical trial, Alla refused to give up.
00:46She entered a second one.
00:48This time using hormonal therapy and a new drug called nab sirolimus.
00:52The side effects? Brutal.
00:54But the cancer? Not growing.
00:56Today, she's still traveling, still living.
00:59And proudly calls herself a guinea pig.
01:01Because if this works, it might save others too.
01:04So what we do?
01:05And we'll do that.
01:06We'll do that.
01:07So what's happening?
01:08And we'll do that, too.
01:09And we'll wait to take over and see what we're going on next week.
