Mother has a very rare cancer

Hello everyone and thank you for taking your time to read this one of the million stories.

7 years ago my mother has left our home country of Georgia to find a better life for us (3 children) and herself in Greece. Since then she has been working as a babysitter - looking after 3 children. I haven't seen her throughout this 7 years. Since then I have graduated from school, university, got married, moved to USA and gave a birth to a daughter. It was ridiculously hard for her to be living alone far away from home and not being there during these happy moments. 

Couple of weeks ago she has felt sudden overall discomfort. The family that she was working for took her to a hospital where she has been diagnosed with a very rare form of cancer -  stage II Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (~1,500-2,500 cases per year in US). She has been transported back to Georgia, where my sisters and relatives live (I still can't hug her). Local medical doctors have confirmed the diagnosis and said that she will be ok if the proper medications will be used. This medications are really expensive for us to cover.

I will provide you a short summary of the treatment course:

On Monday, September 25th she will start a chemotheraphy, which should include a medicine called Mabthera (or Rituxan). She needs a total of 6 to 8 courses of this medicine. Each dosage is supposed to be 700 ml. The packaging forms of Mabthera is being sold as 500 and 100x2 ml. The price for the former is 2,200 ($880) and for the latter - 1,100 GEL ($445). Total comes up to roughly 3,300 GEL ($1,320) per each course. Grand total for this medicine would be 3,300x8 = 26,400 GEL ($10,560)

I know most of you will ignore this message but I just want to know that I really love my mom, who suffered and gave everything away for my life to be better. She makes everyone around her happier and better person. She really is a definition of happiness. I just want to hug her and see in her best possible shape for the years to come.

Thank you.
