Nicole fight for her life!

Hi, many of you know me, and some will not. I was diagnosed with stage III colorectal cancer in 2020, and have been fighting it at stage IV for over 2 years now.
My body has become immune to all standard chemotherapy. The only one left that is FDA approved has a 6% response rate per my oncologist. My cancer grew on my clinical trial and also whether the progression of tumors in my lungs or severe reaction to the trial, I now require continuous oxygen. This may or may not be reversible.
My oncologist recommends I go home on hospice. I’m not ready for that. I have so much fight, love for life left, and things to do.
I’ve already put down a deposit to become a patient at the largest integrative cancer center in the US, called Cancer Center for Healing in Irvine, CA. It is run by a medical doctor with decades of cancer therapies under her belt. All of these treatments are completely out of pocket. One of the cool things they do is take my circulating tumor cells and see what other chemo agents not typically used for colorectal cancer I would respond to and use those. This is something that normal cancer centers can’t do. In addition, high dose IV vitamin C which has been shown to kill chemo resistant colorectal cancer cells, hyperbaric oxygen that will help my lungs, among many other modalities.
They can’t guarantee this will cure me but they do have success with patients going from stage IV to no evidence of disease. They estimate I will need to be there for about 8-10 weeks, and each week will be about $6-8,000. This does not include food or lodging while I’m there.
I’m scrambling for ways to liquidate my savings. Please, whatever anyone can afford is so much appreciated. There is never such an urgency to save your own life as when you cannot breathe n your own. Thank you again!
For people curious I will be working with Dr. Connealy. I’ve read her book and have been following her on social media as well as some of her patients now cancer free.
