Help Bo through 4 rounds of treatment for a rare sarcoma
Supporting Bo through a rare sarcoma: medication, transport to San Jose University Hospital, and living costs while She cannot work.
🇺🇸 San Jose, California, United States2,447 views
Bo was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in August. The oncology team at San Jose University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Bo is 25, worked as a primary school teacher until August, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to San Jose University Hospital 2 times a week, and the income the family has lost add up quickly.
We've already sold what we could and have begun borrowing for groceries. Every kindness from you takes weight off her shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $4,900 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $870
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,150
• Scans and lab work: $880
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Bo
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team is the biggest at $870. Thanks for asking.
hang in there, Rong. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of San Jose.
Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Corpus Christi.
Take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Negombo
good luck. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Alcalá de Henares.
