Help Bud with her cancer treatment outside Canada

Donation protected
Our beautiful mother & grandmother was diagnosed with Ocular melanoma Cancer in the left eye in 2019.   It is a very aggressive, tough cell that had to be treated with Brachytherapy which is an invasive radiation pack that is stitched to the inner back of the eye.   

In 2020, after 1 year of being cancer free she was told it had metastasized to her liver and is stage 4.   She was told that because it was such a strong and rare cancer that chemo, radiation or surgery were NOT and option.  The Oncologists offered immunotherapy with so many negative, irreversible side effects that it seemed worse than the cancer itself.    They gave her 6-8 months to live and only extra months, not years, with the immunotherapy.   

After doing research on a hospital in Mexico that does a 3 week program of 7 different therapies they sent in all her PET scans, CAT scans and bloodwork and were told she had a 70 % chance of cancer remission!  These treatments/therapies are not offered in Canada or the US.

The cost of $59000.00 includes the 21 day program in Mexico, all travel costs  for Bud and Dennis, insurance, necessary COVID tests going and returning, a follow up visit in 3 months and all medications.

I will be managing the fund for Bud as she needs to focus on healing.  If you have any questions, please send them to me and I will do my best to relay the answer.

This is URGENT, she is now at the 4 month mark of the 6-8 month timeline given by her Oncologist.   They could leave as early as March 10, 2021.
