Cancer sucks. You can help me

Donation protected

Hello everyone! My name is Olya and I have been fighting cancer for two years now. I have a Diffuse Large-B-cell Mediastinal Non Hodgkin Lymphoma, which is an aggressive malignant form of cancer.
I’ve learned about my diagnosis in May 2016. What bothered me at that time- was short breath. The most difficult part was that doctors could not figure out my diagnosis at first. So I lost 7 months of time as they where sending me for different kinds of analysis in order to figure out what kind of disease I had.
By now, I have passed 29 chemotherapies and other 8 treatment regimens. Still, I can not get the remission so I would be able to get a subsequent transplantation of the bone marrow. From the first day and up till today I am constantly on chemotherapies but instead of improvement, lymphoma progressively grows.
Even though things go like this, I don’t want to miss a minute. I’m spending time with my friends in between getting chemotherapies . I want to continue to live in despite of the diagnosis. I have not done so much in my life yet ... I still want to fall in love, to travel, and to enjoy the surroundings. I truly hope I will have this opportunity. But meanwhile I understand that my chances are very small and I need to find a way out. . . Some treatment that will eventually affect my lymphoma and allow me to live without hospitals and permanent chemotherapies .

At the moment, I am collecting funds for passing CAR-t in China, which costs $ 50,000.
I have already settled an agreement with the professor from China. Currently I cannot stop chemotherapies as that will affect the CARt passage. Only in a month or two I would need to take a break and in October I am planning to fly out to China.
I really need your help to live.

You can help me to live
