Bianca's Treatment Cost

On October 13th, 2016 my mother, who was recently feeling ill, experienced hemorrhaging and was rushed to the emergency room where she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Until the day I'm writing this now,  me, her, and my sister have not told many people this information, hoping that the results of all the tests and procedures done over the last few weeks would be more optimistic, but unfortunately, that isn't the case. The growth in her body has been removed but the cancer remains, and the doctors have told her that she has only 2-5 years left depending on how much chemotherapy she chooses to purchase. Contrary to the beliefs of many cancer organizations, chemotherapy is not the only method of treatment, and there is still a possibility for curing my mother, but our financial situation has left virtually no chance for us to be able to do it on our own. The institutes we are looking at currently deal with the treatment of cancer through immunotherapy and integrative medicine, and involve continuous conditions she would be kept under in a facility (all of which are out of state) over a period of time. The success rate of these treatments have been consistently good and there have been many situations where patients diagnosed terminally have ended up cured and even rejuvenated by these processes, but the costs of them are a lot. This diagnosis has happened to have hit us at a particularly vulnerable time with my mom having recently become unemployed and due to this, there has not been a very reliable source of income for our family the past year. My mom has been dealing with things on her own pretty much her entire life as a parent since she was divorced when I was 2 and then forced to raise me and my sister, who was 6, completely on her own. She has moved from house to house and job to job over the following years and has still somehow made it possible to provide just enough for all three of us to survive with no one else there to help. One would think the amount of stress a person can withstand must have a limit in which sanity is broken, but my mom, miraculously, has still somehow shown nothing but love and kindness to everyone around her, and that love is why I'm alive now, 17 years old, healthy and in school, and ready to share the rest of whatever life throws at me with the one person whose defended me against all of it beforehand. My mom has shown resilience and strength unlike any human I could ever imagine is capable of containing, and I'm not ready to let her go without trying everything that can possibly be done to help her.  The goal is a rough estimate of all the price tags that may accumulate in this treatment process, but the number could change in either direction slightly. Any amount of help is extremely valuable and we're sincerely thankful for any kind of donation you can make, no matter how small. My mom is a person that would help anyone in a heartbeat if need be, please help me help her beat this unfortunate diagnosis.
