Carcinoid cancer treatment help

Donation protected
I’ve been diagnosed with Neuroendocrine cancer of the pancreas, which had already spread to my liver in 2016. I’ve been fighting this relentless disease since then and have accumulated an insurmountable amount of medical bills. These bills are directly related to this cancer and include medications/tests and procedures.
Unfortunately, I had an anaphylactic reaction to the golden-standard treatment of Somatostatin analogues, which makes my treatment even more complicated. Since my diagnosis in March of 2016 my disease has spread from pancreas to the liver and now most recently to the stomach. I’ve also developed a further complication due to this Neuroendocrine cancer called carcinoid syndrome which causes a constellation of severe symptoms that could become life-threatening and often render me bedbound. 
I have two children and I am married to the love of my life...I have so much to live and to be grateful for. Please consider supporting my campaign, every penny raised will pay for treatment my insurance company won’t cover, as it deems it “experimental” plus it will go towards my medical bills which currently are at $20,444.38. The experimental  treatment is my last hope to bring this disease under control and buy me (literally) further time with my children and husband. 
Any little contribution will help considerably and my gratitude will be endless.
