Fundraising for medical treatment for stage 4 cancer

What would you do if you had no other choice but to ask for help?
I am a single mother, seeking a way to save my life. Here is my story that I share with a heavy heart.
In August 2020 I was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer that metastasised to my liver, when my son was only 6 months old. The metastasis was found by accident. I undertook conventional treatment and all supportive therapies I could afford at that time.
Thanks to my multidisciplinary medical team, the metastasis cleared from my liver. Unfortunately, the main tumor remained in my breast, leading to a demanding surgery. Shortly after, I was proclaimed cancer-free.
In 2021 the doctors discovered a new metastasis in my thymus, resulting in another complex surgery. I was declared cancer-free.
In 2022 cancer reappeared in my chest wall, lymph nodes, and lungs. I had to change my chemotherapy treatment for the third time.
One year later in 2024 I was once again proclaimed cancer-free and I was hoping to return to a normal life.
In September 2024 cancer returned, this time in my lymph nodes, and I found myself back in the surgery room. My latest scans from December last year show the beginning of progression. At the same time I am approaching the last line of treatment under the NHS (National Health Service in the UK).
Running out of options, I remain strong for my almost 5-year-old son, including days following surgeries or chemotherapy. However, there is a glimmer of hope. I have found a clinic in Turkey that specialises in treating stage 4 cancers with very promising results. After an initial consultation, the leading doctor agreed to treat me, but he stressed that treatment must start soon.
So the plan for me is to go to Istanbul.
The recommended treatment protocol includes Metabolically Supported Chemotherapy, Hyperthermia, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, and Supportive Infusions, along with Oral Medications (Supplements and Repurposed Drugs). The cost for each treatment cycle is €5,000.
To be effective, I need to undergo at least 6 rounds of this treatment (every two weeks for 3 days).
In total, the cost amounts to €30,000, plus travel and accommodation expenses.
As a motivated individual, I hold onto the hope of returning to full health and eventually resuming my career. During remission I have started studies in conscious parenting and I hope to help other parents to bring up confident and self aware children in the future. Foremost, I still want to be a mother to my wonderful son who is very small and needs me. I stand firm and keep optimistic that there is still a chance for me.
Please, support my journey to health.
