Standing with Léo: a rare sarcoma treatment costs

Léo is facing a rare sarcoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Léo was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in February. The oncology team at Marseille Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Léo is 55, worked as a nurse until February, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Marseille Cancer Centre 3 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 his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $5,450 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,350 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $450 • Transport to Marseille Cancer Centre: $650 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Élodie

      This could happen to any of us. After 17 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.

          Stay strong, Élodie. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.

          • Utami Sinta Hartono

            Take care, Élodie. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

              Thinking of you and your family, Élodie. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope June is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
