Since the mainstream suggestion is amputation and relearning to walk with prosthetic or wheelchair
My suggestion would be to contact a functional medicine doctor
Who will apply:
DMSO + Ivermectin + Mebendazole (or Fenbendazole) - topically
DMSO + ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) - topically
(DMSO increases permeability of the skin to the Ivermectin and Mebendazole creams)
See the impact of that after 1 month
And orally give Ivermectin + Mebendazole (or Fenbendazole)
And increase Vitamin D blood levels - with Vitamin D3 10,000 IU + Vitamin K2 200mcg - for 2-3 months
And other aspects of the metabolic approach
Possibly even low dose chemotherapy at 70% dosage (which according to Dr Angus Dalgleish reduces most of the side effects of the chemo)
And possibly radiation and localized chemotherapy injections into tumor (intratumoral - see Dr Jason Williams below)
MidWestern Doctor on substack has a series of articles on DMSO in combination with drugs to increase absorption through the skin (ie topically):

DMSO greatly potentiates natural and conventional cancer therapies. I just had a doctor who used it with topical Ivermectin report this case to me:
I have a protocol for DMSO+Ivermectin applied topically. Oral ivermectin does not need to be converted into a prodrug in the body and it can be used topically in certain applications. I have patients combine DMSO+IVM to make a paste and apply it to the skin for 30-60 mins 1-3x daily. Right over the tumor location. Wash off. Got a patients surgical path back from a spinal tumor. The result: complete pathological response. Not ghost cells, but back to healthy human cells. I'm currently writing this up for a case study.

This is a detailed summary of how DMSO treats cancer and potentiates cancer therapies.

Hundreds of Studies Show DMSO Transforms The Treatment of Cancer
A remarkable cancer treatment has been hiding in plain sight for decades

@ColleenHuber
For melanoma and other skin cancers at my clinic, we have been using ivermectin with DMSO for a few years and DMSO with other substances for decades longer.

A new study found vitamin C in DMSO eliminated 56% of diagnosed skin cancers in just 12 weeks—94% of patients avoided surgery. A 2022 trial found even higher results: 86% resolution vs 57% for the standard drug, with zero scarring vs 70%.
But skin cancer is just the beginning When DMSO is combined with an anticancer agent, it carries it directly into the tumor, making it far more potent at far less toxic doses. Readers have reported using DMSO combinations to eliminate skin cancers without surgery, resolve ovarian tumors in weeks, and calcify lung spots. Physicians are now combining it with repurposed drugs like ivermectin and reporting promising early results against prostate, breast, colon, and ovarian cancers.
Here I present the extensive evidence on how DMSO transforms cancer treatment.🧵

A REMARKABLE study found 56% of skin cancers were ERADICATED after just 12 weeks of topical vitamin C in DMSO.
The squamous cell carcinomas were NO MATCH for a simple, low-cost solution: 30% ascorbic acid in 95% DMSO/5% distilled water.
Nearly ALL patients AVOIDED surgery.

I really need your thoughts on this

The patient is 88 years old, female, doesnt have diabetes or other health problem except this one. She got diagnosed with cancer tumor on the right foot.
The doctor told us recently that her foot needs to be amputated, stating that there are no other viable medical alternatives left for her condition. Hearing this was devastating for our family, and before moving forward with such a life-altering surgery, we desperately want to know if there could be any other possible solutions,, or alternatives we might have missed. Has anyone faced a similar diagnosis or consulted specialists who found another way? Any insights, experiences, or questions we should ask before making this final decision would mean the world to us.
Here is what the scan result says:
CT SCAN OF THE RIGHT FOOT
INDICATION:
Plantar amelanotic melanoma.
TECHNIQUE:
Volumetric helical scan in thin slices with multiplanar reconstructions, performed without and with contrast injection.
RESULTS:
Cutaneous and subcutaneous soft-tissue mass on the plantar surface of the forefoot, budding and lobulated, with soft-tissue enhancement after contrast injection.
It measures 65 × 20 mm, extending over 55 mm.
It locally invades the plantar fascia, reaching contact with the short flexor tendons, without being able to confirm their invasion.
Absence of detectable bone destruction adjacent to the lesion.
CONCLUSION:
Plantar soft-tissue mass of tumoral origin (previously known), with deep extension into the plantar fascia and contact with the short flexor tendons, without being able to confirm their invasion.
No bone involvement.
