Mary's Metastatic Breast Cancer
Donation protected
My beautiful wife Mary was diagnosed with stage 2 triple negative breast cancer on Jan 2017. We went through the Chemo treatments at Duke NC where hair loss and normal chemo reactions occurred. Mary then had a double mastectomy as she didn't want any chance of this evil disease to come back into our lives. She then went through a brutal radiation regimen where they also discovered additional cancer in her neck. Having prayed and hoped for a clean bill of health after the final radiation treatment occurred and we are getting the 'final' pet-scan results we were told devastating news instead of what we prayed and prayed for... Mary's cancer spread to her lungs where now it is a stage 4 metastatic triple negative cancer which is not curable in the US.
Since this news we have gone through additional chemo treatments which the last one was Doxil where we put all our eggs in the Doxil basket. After 2 months of treatment again we were slapped in the face with the news the chemo is having no effect on the tumors where in fact they grew.
Mary's chest pain and back pain has been increasing weekly and we are trying to get added to any trials out there however for Mary's very rare cancer there currently are no trials so we are forced to take matter into our own hands....
We heard about a Cancer center in Mexico called Chipsa where they have alternative treatments specially designed for Mary's cancer. This treatment is designed to manipulate the cancer cells to trick them to accept the chemo instead of shielding against it. This treatment is designed to stop the tumor growth and best case it would shrink the cancer which would provide Mary a better quality of life.
This 21 day treatment is quite expensive and Mexico does not accept US insurance which is why I am praying for your help. This is a very urgent request as Chipsa only has 2 openings in July and a portion of the money must be paid up front. Please help us on our journey to save Mary's life so she can see our grandchildren grow up and our son's families grow as well.
