I got a friend who has a mom with a terminal prognosis, after the treatment became ineffective. I looked up a doctor named Jason R. Williams of the Williams Cancer institute in Atlanta. He does this technique to treat cancer, but only in Mexico City because most of the drugs he uses are not FDA approved. We got a consultation, but had to pay 450 upfront via PayPal. This sounds like some bullshit to me, but I was happy to give my friend the money if it meant a chance of good news.

My friend's mom can't travel so he referred us to a Jeanne Stryker in San Diego, but didn't give us any further info. I found her website. She seems to also work at the Scripps Cancer Center and her office is basically on the hospitals grounds.

I had talked to a real person from the Stryker MD place over the phone and she said that she would send me the some "medical intake forms" and some medical release forms. Basically, something was fishy about the signing process just for Stryker alone, nevermind this weird runaround we're doing. The UI seemed so incomplete, I've never been to even the shittiest of clinics that had "Type Question Here" instead of the actual question on any of their forms. We had to do so many electronic signatures and one of the agreements we had to sign was for a 620 consultation fee, also before the actual consultation AND you had to put your credit card info. I've run out of money, and the possibility of some shenanigans is now higher than ever in my mind, not that I hadn't considered it, but 450 was a small price to pay for me.

I weighed the costs. Hell, if I had the money I would still pay the 620 but only in cash. But I really wasn't about to let my friend put any credit card info whatsoever. I did my research and this process seems experimental, but legit. When talking with the supposed Williams, I tried to read up on cancer in peer-reviewed articles as much as I could so that I could ask him the toughest questions possible and see if he squirmed. Some of these charlatans can be pretty sophisticated, you know. The price of the cryoablation was explicitly stated as 8000 dollars. But, the immontherapy wasn't, and I've heard that shit can be hella expensive. There's a lot to consider, you know. And I can't dwell too long on some investigation to see if this Stryker person is legit. Google searches yield very little and I've only seen one photo of her.

So my questions are these:
Should I try to raise money on gofundme or here or whatever and go through with this potential scam on the off-chance that it's the real deal?
Or does anyone know of a more legitimate place where they can do this stuff?
