Standing with Élodie: a rare sarcoma treatment costs
8 rounds of treatment are planned at the Boulogne-Billancourt Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Élodie was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in March. The oncology team at the Boulogne-Billancourt Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in May. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Élodie is 26, worked as a construction supervisor until March, 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 the Boulogne-Billancourt Oncology Institute 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $9,200 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $480
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,500
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $590
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,630
Glad we found this place.

thanks for sharing this, René. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope May is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Scranton.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Élodie?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about scans and lab work, advice is welcome too. Appreciate you taking the time.
Hope things get better soon, René. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up.
stay strong. Wishing Élodie a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Hope it all works out, René. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Cox's Bazar.
