Mom with Stage 4 Bile Duct Cancer

Hello everyone, my name is Kyle and I belong to a great family of five. I have both my mom and dad and two brothers. I hate asking for help but time is limited and we're running out of options. The reason I am here today is because my most loving mom has been diagnosed with stage 4 bile duct cancer. She is the sweetest and most caring person that I know. I'm not just saying that because she's my mom but because she truly does have a great heart. She's never smoked a day in her life. She doesn't drink. She and my dad have been together for over 35 years and you can see that they are still madly in love with each other. When we found out about the cancer it was already at stage 4 and the doctors told her she had around 4 months to live. Thankfully 2 years later she's still with us, although the cancer is spreading. She's been trying everything she can to help fight the cancer. From changing her diet dramatically to seeing so many different types of healthcare professionals to chemotherapy, which was her most recent effort and is currently going through her third cycle. With the type of cancer she has and the stage it's at, the oncologist said that neither surgery or radiation was an option. So the money I'm trying to raise is for her to be able to go to Germany to see a specialist who has a good track record of minimizing, if not eliminating the cancer completely. The only problem is it is very expensive. The treatment is called Regional chemotherapy. The procedure is applying the chemo directly to the tumor instead of the whole body and it treats the blood flowing into the area. Here is a link to an article from the Toronto Star of other Canadians seeking help in Germany https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.thestar.com/amp/news/canada/2016/02/19/for-some-canadians-with-incurable-cancer-hope-is-found-in-germany.html The procedure costs $45k per treatment with 3-4 treatments needed (Total of $135k-180k) and I'm trying to raise $40k to help offset the cost. (I do not feel comfortable setting the goal any higher). The goal is to raise the money by New Year's as time is very limited. I've never done a go fund me and my mom doesn't know I'm doing this. So if you do happen to recognize her and know her personally PLEASE DO NOT MENTION THIS TO HER or my father for that matter. Also feel free to share this with your friends and family. Thank you so very much for all your help and support. Every little bit will help!
