Please Help as I have only 6 WEEKS to live. I have Melanoma in my brain.

I have only 6 WEEKS to live. I have Melanoma in my brain.
3 days ago on Sep 11th 2015, I received devastating news that I was diagnosed with terminal cancer in my brain. I have 6+ spots of Metastatic Melanoma in my brain and have been given approximately 6 weeks left to live.
This Wednesday I start with radiation therapy to cut down the sizes of my growths, but I can only have 5 sessions as any more than this can cause extreme damage to my brain.
There's only one option left: A new drug called Pembrolizumab which costs around $56,000 for the first 12 weeks worth of treatment which may add 6-12 months onto my life, if I am lucky. Hopefully I will last this long. Then I will have to see if it is working and then continue if more funding can be obtained.
I have already had 2 large Melanomas that were removed from my shoulder & under my arm 3 months ago. They took out all my lymph nodes and this has now healed, but they hadn't detected the cancer in my brain until last Thursday.
Now is the time for a hard and (hopefully) long fight with this one.
I am also starting on Monday with Intravenous Vitamin C injections to hopefully slow down the growths, which will also cost about $20,000.
I am also trying a few Natural Products that have also seen amazing results...Must try Everything.
$3-4,000 plus a Lot of Running Around and I am currently Unemployed with No Income...
Please help me as little or as much as you possibly can, as this is my last hope to hold on to my life for a little longer, to spend time with the people I love. I will be forever grateful.
Please also send this Information onto anyone you think may also help...Please
God Bless,
