The reason why forums delete such appeals is because there have been countless scams: appeals for money for non-existent companion animals via third-party appeal sites. The trouble with appeal sites is that the details of the person asking for the money is kept secret (except for a first name or pseudonym), so if someone donates, there is no way of checking whether the money has been used for the purpose of the donation. Sometimes, the IP address of the person does not match with the claimed location, and requests for the treating vet never get answered.
You say that you live in a small European country, but in fact your vet is located in Bucarest, Romania. Romania is in the EU, with integrated banking via SWIFT, so bank transfers could be made almost instantly to the bank account of the vet concerned. Delay would be less, not more, if paid directly than via an appeal site.
I therefore suggest that you post here:
1. The name and address and bank account details (ISBN, SWIFT/BIC) of the vets concerned.
2. The treatment reference for Jazzy (otherwise, how to identify for whom the money is intended?)
Third party fundraising sites always raise suspicions, I am afraid, because of frequent scams. There is no way of checking how the money is used if the recipient is not identified.
So that is why animal forums are deleting your threads. There have been too many scams. I suggest that you follow the procedure I have suggested.
Have you looked into alternative cancer treatments, other than harsh chemicals? Harsh chemicals sometimes produce side effects which are as bad as the cancer itself. Here is a link which may interest you:

Many blessings to you and poor Jazzy!
I would still need money to change his diet. I currently have no money.
I know Sanivet, the doctors that treat him for vomiting, infections and upset stomach would receive direct transfers. I don't think Oncovet would, but I can ask. I'm too embarrassed to ask for their bank accounts with the risk of them not receiving any money for his treatments, but if people want to donate please let me know and I will ask the clinics for their bank accounts (in Romania they're IBAN) and their preference for the reference.
Now, after Lomustine, the most urgent need is treatment for nausea and vomiting. This can cost up to 265 lei / $65.46. He also needs antibiotics and probiotics which cost 50 - 60 lei / $12.35 - $14.82 once every 6 days. I've currently stopped these treatments because I can't pay for them.
And food, which can be cheaper or better, depending on the donations.
In 20 days it all starts again. He will once again need Lomustine + nausea / vomiting treatment. Lomustine costs 560 lei / $138.30 once every 21 days (3 weeks).
In 30 days he will need another box of Onsior. I buy this from an online store because it's cheaper than buying it from the clinic, it costs 205.5 lei / $50.78 I can send people the link to the store and my home address if they want to buy it directly and ship it to me, however this is the last priority right now as he currently has Onsior pills for the next 30 days.
Ideally, I would also have to buy him Frontline Combo for ticks and fleas, 1 treatment last about 1 month. 1 Frontline Combo costs 55 lei / $13.58. His doctors don't sell them, I have to buy them from a neighborhood pet store.
I can update my fundraiser with photos of everything I buy (minus injections since I won't have them home and I need to hold Jazzy while the doctors give him his shots).
