NWR- Stage 4 ovarian cancer HELP

Hi everyone. My relative has received news that her chemo has stopped working, cancer has spread and her only option is a heavy duty chemo which will only possibly help her have an extra 2 months to live or hospice.

We did try getting her into the cancer hospital in PA but they dont take her insurance nor will they let us pay out of pocket.

So we need another option fast. Does anyone know of a Dr/hosptial or a patient who had some kind of similar experience but was able to get live saving help? We will go anywhere and pay whatever so please if you know anything that might help please let me know. Please feel free to message me if you would rather not post on here.

Thank you in advance!

Have you tried Memorial Sloan Kettering? My mom went there when she had cancer. My mom also went to Monter Cancer Center (associated with North Shore LIJ)

Unfortunately, my mom lost her life to cancer, but the care she received at both facilities was great.
