The Whisnant family needs your help

My husband Nathan was 1st  diagnosed with nasonpharinax cancer in 2011. He completed 35 radiations treatments  and 9 months of chemo, Which we thought killed the cancer.  Then  in the beginning 2014 he had to have a back surgery. 6 months later he  had an Mir to find out why he was not relieved of his pain and the doctor said they seen something on Mri that could be cancer, but would be 1 in a million chance, so he had to get a biopsy. He did and it was cancer,  it came back again . We was devostated. It was labeled nasonphanrax that metastasized  to lung and bone. It was spread through out his body, it was  in both lungs, his abdomen , a  spot on his pelvis, his hip bone, and on his spine. he was in stage 4! After receiving 1 radiation and 6 months of chemo the dr's told him  that he was not responding to treatments and they are stopping them, so he could have  a quality of life, and that he had about a year to live so enjoy what he has left. We was in shock.!Two months later the insurance finally approved the pet scan, the results were "Dramatic Response To Therapy" it was a miracle no trace of metestatic cancer anywhere!  Then in 2015 the cancer came back and is  worse then last time. The scan said, It came back in both lungs, several lymph nodes throughout his chest, 1 spot in his rt shoulder blade, 1 in his abdomen,1 in his pelvis,1 on his rib cage,  1 spot on his bone above his left knee, and in the L5 vertebral body close to nerve root so he again did the chemo, and they tried optivo too and it's still growing.      
Nathan cancer is still stage 4 right now and it is causing him to be in a lot of pain, and the side effects of the treatment are so horrible too. He has done every treatment available to him and some  have  helped but none in the  last 6 months.
Now  in Feb. 2016 he had another scan that says, his skeletal metastatic disease is stable , which means it has not progressed since the December scan which said it is through out most of his bones. Which is great news.
On the other hand the cat scan also said that the cancer that traveled to his liver in October of 2015  has worsened with new multiple spots and bigger known spots in both the right and left lobes. The biggest spot  measuring 3.6 in left lobe of his liver. 
He has done a lot of research and found a lot of great infomation and other things that he is trying to  use  to  beat this.
This is not cheap or easy  trying anything and everything that's has been proven to help so he can live.
We need your help getting through this.  He is a fighter and needs everyone to help him  beat this once and for all. With  help of  The Lord and all of u, we got this. 
We take one day at a time, as that's all we can do under our circumstances.
We have 4 children all together, and a grand baby.  Kylie is 21, and Madi is 1, (Which live on their own). Then  Nathan is 12, Natalya is 10 , and Nash is  5,( which live at home).
