Help Rocky win his fight with Cancer

Donation protected
Hello my name is Hilda. I am Rockys wife and i am trying to raise $ 27,200 to pay for cancer treatment as well as help feed our family while my husband is out of work. Rocky is my husband and father to my 1.5 year old son Remington and our unborn daughter Astoria. Rocky is also father to Little Rocky his first born son who is 4 years old. To me and anyone you askthat knows him he is much more than just a husband and father. To me Rocky is my partner, he is my anchor in the rough sea of life he is my love he is my teacher he is my therapist he is my shoulder to cry on. He is my best friend. Ask anyone who knows him and they will tell you that Rocky is very independent and that Rocky doesnt have a shoulder to cry on because Rocky doesn't cry. If you know him you will agree that Rocky is a very positive and motivated individual who loves to do things his own way(sometimes to a fault)and is not the type of person to rely on anyone need anyone or ask anyone for assistance or help. My super husband! Right now even though he is too proud to ask for it and would deny the fact if you brought it up, Rocky needs help. For those of you who do not know(he didnt want to tell anyone) Rocky was diagnosed in February 2021 with Cancer. He was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called CUP which stands for Carcinoma of Unknow Primary. After countless tests countless hours of driving followed by continued countless hours of Dr visits Rockys Dr's gave him a very grim prognosis. The cancer is in his blood stream like leukemia and is attacking his lymphatic system like Lymphoma but is neither one. The cancer cells have spread throughout his body by way of his Lymphatic system and operation is not on the table. Radiation treatment was rendered useless as well and chemotherapy was the only option left Rockys doctors informed him that even though it is an option that the chemotherapy may help however there is no cure for his affliction. They informed him that at the moment the chemotherapy offered is only available to combat the cancer and raise quality of life by alleviating pain and discomfort. Being the strong headed(stubborn) individual he is Rocky decided to pass on treatment and try to enjoy the time he had left with us his family friends and loved ones. Rocky was informed that the average life span of patients after being diagnosed was between 9 and 12 months and that he should get his affairs in order. Refusing to take defeating refusing to give in or loose strength Rocky continued to explore alternative medicine, changes in diet and exercise as well as a couple other not so conventional forms of treatment. When his ability to force himself to eat an stay active started decling and his physical condition started to become more and more noticeable I could tell even Rocky was starting to loose hope. Then right before I think he was about to give in to the disease we got a call from The Florida cancer specialists and researcher center. We were informed about a new clinical trial treatment that uses Stem cells and Tcells in combination with chemotherapy and that Rocky would be a great candidate if he was interested. He immediately signed up. We were given a plan of action and a schedule of 10 treatments over the course of a year each treatment 36 days apart. Rocky has been doing amazingly well dealing with the chemotherapy and after 6 treatments I am very happy to say his cell count numbers have not risen since the start of treatment and he still has almost all of his hair. He and i are both trying to keep an extremely positive outlook with hopes that the treatment will continue to combat the cancer and ultimately lead to his recovery Unfortunately the treatment is $6800 per visit and with the combination of chemotherapy it has made it impossible for him to work. We sold almost all of our possessions gave away or donated the rest and we moved to Florida full time to be closer to the Dr's and to try to cut down on cost of living and travel cost We are struggling financially at the moment and even though he wont admit it in public we have run out of money to pay for the last 4 treatments. It is breaking my hart to see such a strong person become so weak and frail. We have struggled with making the last two payments for treatment but have made it happen. The time has come now though that we are starting to struggle with essential everyday things too like food water and diapers for the baby.
