Operation GET MEL TO MEXICO!

Hello friends, family and whoever else may read this.
As you have probably heard by now, our family has been given some devastating news regarding Melodys health and the bastard that is cancer.
At this time, considering the lack of hope we've been given by using traditional cancer treatment, we have been frantically researching alternative treatments and methods suggested by her Doctor in London.
We have found an option and a hope here:
http://biocarehospital.com/
We have talked to someone first hand who has a success story from this very clinic 11 years ago, as well as many many more success stories.
We hope to become one ourselves.
It sounds crazy, it's sounds like crazy hippie talk I know, but right now I'm desperate.
We're 4th and long with very little time on the clock.
This is our Hail Mary.
Regular treatment here may stall the inevitable, but ultimately the treatment itself will eventually do just as much harm as good.
This Bio Medical Treatment is in Tijuana, Mexico.
Unfortunately it comes with a hefty price tag.
I'm desperate to save the life of my wife.
I've been able to keep our household afloat the last year and a half with people helping out with care for her and the kids, the last GoFundMe account, but now I'm admitting financial defeat and am asking you all for help.
The 3 week treatment, accommodation for the two of us as well as our meals and the shuttle from the airport in San Diego to Tijuana is $27,000 US.
I have a little bit covered, but with being off for work for probably up to a month, this will get a bit ugly.
I'm certainly not giving up hope on Mel getting healthy and certainly not going to not help her get healthy because of money. But her and I can't do it alone.
I know the economy is poor, everyone may not have as much spare as they used to, but anything will help, even if you just share this post, and if absolutely nothing else, just BELIEVE without a doubt that this will work and we can put this behind us.
When dad was diagnosed and started treatment a few years ago, he had a simple philosophy. BELIEVE. He believed enough that he was healthy at our wedding and met his two grandsons, and you'd better BELIEVE he'd solidly kick my ass for not doing everything possibly to get Mel healthy.
This is my appeal. Please help us.

Hello friends,
As most of us are aware, our dear friends at Team Ashton have been dealt another shitty hand. For those of you who don't know, the doctors have told Mel that the cancer is back, and there is nothing they can do. This bastard coward of a disease that she has overcome has returned.
For many, this would bring up feelings of defeat, of despair. Not Mel. Not one goddamn bit. In her post on the facebook (which is posted below), Mel delivers this painful news, but lets us know 2 things: She isn't giving up and she sure as shit isn't backing down. Neither is Stuey. Neither are their boys.
This is a family of warriors. Battle-hardened against a familiar enemy. Mel and Stu will fight this head-on, take no prisoners and give no quarter. That's how Harry treated this bastard, and that's how they will do it, too.
This family has their hands full, and a long, long journey ahead of them. They have enough on their minds, and less concern about finances will allow more attention to go to where it's needed - winning. This family has a life to live, so let's help take a little bit of stress from it.
Kick in, if you can. Every little bit will help, because it will add up. Sorry if I sound like an info-mercial, but it's true. There will be medical bills, travel costs, doctor visits - it's going to suck. So lets make this part suck a little less.
Read her words. Is that a defeated woman? No, they most certainly are not. Those are the words of a woman who isn't done fighting. So, let's show our support and show our love, and stand together with our friends,
Thank you all,
Angus Oliver Proud member of Team Ashton
"I have probably erased this post a dozen times because i do not know where to begin. My family's world was shook 2 weeks ago by a call from my doctor. Everything was not clear. I flew to ontario by myself this weekend to have another test and a proper diagnosis. Yesterday i was told there are lesions on my liver, spots in my abdominal wall and a tumour on the outside of my bowel. There is nothing they can do to cure this for me. It is progressing at such a fast rate that the moment they remove something, something else will pop up in its place. Chemo has been recommended to shrink the spots and put it at bay for as long as it works. Eventually i will become immune to it. I have been encouraged to explore other safe alternative options if i choose to do so. As for life expectancy they could not give me a true time and i said i did not want to know anyway. I will do this on my time and not by some statistic timeline. Those statistics don't really apply to me because the oncologist said those numbers are from older, unhealthy people and i am young and otherwise very healthy. He said to look at me on paper and look at the person sitting across from him they are 2 totally different people because you would never know i was as sick as i am. I need to apologize to the people i did not call and tell in person. After about 8 phone calls i was mentally and physically exausted and ill and i just couldnt do it anymore. This is not a post about me giving up just because a doctor told me there is nothing they can do for me. It is a post about how i have another even greater battle on my hands and as long as i feel the way i do right now i will give it all i have once again. I am going to rest for a while and then go pick up Theodore and Jacob from Meemaw's house and i am going to hug them for as long as God allows me to."
