Help Rocky fight against bone cancer

Donation protected
Hi! I am trying to raise funds for my beautiful baby boy, Rocky who was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma back in December. 
Overnight the tumor literally manifested its self (the size of half a tennis ball). 
We immediately took him to 3 different vets to assure ourselves that it wasn't a possible misdiagnosis. Unfortunately it wasn't and my worst nightmare had become a reality; my baby, the best thing to ever happen to me, light of my life, has cancer. 

I put Rocky on all natural Chinese medicine and had medicine brought in from India and Australia as well. While he is doing great on them in regards to his energy and appetite, the tumor has kept growing and shows no sign of shrinking or stopping.

His lungs are still clear thanks to the medicine but its not enough anymore. As the tumor continues to grow in size and eat away at the bone, the bigger the risk is for Rocky's leg to break and according to the vet, it will come down to either amputation or euthanization which is the very last thing I want. 

Before any breakage my vet has agreed that amputation is the best route to go now since the weight of the tumor is limiting Rocky's mobility. It breaks my heart seeing him get excited when he sees his leash not knowing that he can't go out on walks or runs like we used to due to the high chance of his back leg breaking.

I've done all I can to make sure he is given a fighting chance but I do not have the funds for a $4300.00 surgery. My family has helped me as much as they can without putting themselves in a financially compromising situation and now I hope to raise the money for my beautiful baby boy to get him the surgery he needs by the end of March or sooner. 
To be able to give him this surgery and make him comfortable with any help from here would mean the world to us both.
