There has got to be some way you & your mom could get here. They bring children from there to here for treatment...maybe go to the American Consolate and talk with them...bring medical records with you, and tell them you just want help.

I'm sorry to hear about all the difficulties you're facing.Your mother is lucky to have you taking such good care and working so diligently to find treatment for her.
Have you tried contacting Genentech (the pharma co. that manufactures Herceptin) and inquiring about providing Herceptin for compassionate use?They may even be able to arrange some type of financial support? Maybe Christine can help you direct your inquiry to someone specific at Genentech?
Just some suggestions.Hope you are able to find a solution.In the meantime, praying for you and your mom.
Jessica
