Help me battle my fight against leukemia

Donation protected
I'm humbly asking for help during this very trying time. On August 12, 2019 I was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, an aggressive form of this terrible blood cancer. It's surreal that this is happening and I can't believe it every time I write down or say the C word. I started chemo immediately and on September 13, 2019, I was declared in remission. There would be 3 rounds of maintenance chemo as a follow-up to keep the disease away with the possibility of a bone marrow transplant as a plan b. However, after 2 rounds of maintenance chemo, they did another biopsy to determine whether to do the 3rd round of  maintenance chemo or proceed with the transplant. Last week I received the call from my transplant doctor giving me the devastating news that the leukemia has returned already after only 4 months. I will start new treatment in the next week or so with the hope being that they can get me back in remission in order to immediately go to transplant. It is no longer an option, it is a necessity.  Anything I receive is very humbling and very much appreciated and will allow me to really focus on my treatment and recovery. The disability income I am receiving helps but it  is only a partial amount of my income and with the medical bills starting to pile up and everyday life continuing to go on, the support will help my son and I continue on.
