Help for my future daughter in law

My Son Dustin Fiancée Nikki was recently diagnosed with
Hepatic (biliary) cystadenomas They are rare multilocular cystic tumors of the liver that are derived from the biliary epithelium and are predominantly located in the right hepatic lobe. These tumors usually involve the hepatic parenchyma (approximately 85% of cases) and occasionally the extrahepatic biliary tract.
Some cysts are cancerous and early treatment is vital. If left untreated, benign cysts cancause serious complications including: Infection – the cyst fills with bacteria and pus, and becomes an abscess. If the abscess bursts inside the body, there is a risk of blood poisoning (septicaemia).
Doctors also found five other cysts in her abdomen which need to be removed. As well as 2 in her liver and 1 in the breast They will have to cut through the abdominal muscles to remove the cysts as well as part of the liver and breast. Afterwards she be in a soft body cast because she won't have the muscle capacity to hold herself up right
there will also be some reconstructive surgery to follow.
There is a 3 year waiting list for this surgery in Canada so she has opted to have it done in the US. In October 2019. Luckily Alberta Health Care will cover the surgery but not the 3000.00 deposit needed to secure her spot as well as the plane tickets and funds to get by while she is recovering.
About 6 weeks.
We are all devastated but hopeful. Nikki is just a wonderful human being. loves my son and is a very devoted loving Mom to 2 gorgeous little girls.
Prognosis for this type of surgery is quite good and reoccurrence is fortunately very slim.
Thank you for any help your able to offer.
