Oscar, longtime 49ers fan given just months to live, needs your help

follow By Site Staff Apr 6, 2015 at 10:09 PM •





Oscar has been fighting this cancer since 2011 with multiple major surgeries and numerous aggressive treatments. He has now started hospice, which is end of life care. Doctors at UCSF, Kaiser, and UCLA are out of options and believe that he has one or two months to live.



Oscar, who is only 33 years old, is now looking to help his family with the financial burden of what lies down the road. He is hoping to raise money to help with funeral costs and has started a fundraising campaign on GoFundMe.



He also hopes that his story will help spread more awareness of this cancer and help raise money for research against it. This type of cancer is so rare that, according to Oscar, almost no research is being done to combat it.



Traditional surgeries to remove tumors have only resulted in the growth of more. The cancer has grown resistant to other treatments and radiation was not an option because of where the tumors are located.



"Got a bucket list going on now and going to live each day like it's my last," said Oscar while informing his fellow 49ers fans within our forums. "I've seen the power of the Webzone do some special things," he added.



We are asking that you spread the word to help a 49ers fan in need. If you can give, great. If not, please share his story. At the very least, it may help bring some more awareness to the rare form of cancer that is destroying his body.







As of this writing, Oscar has raised $1,810 of his $15,000 goal. 21 people have donated since he started the campaign 10 days ago.



Oscar has a wife named Heather and two young children named Bradley and Morgan.

49ers' Kyle Shanahan expects Mohamed Sanu to be suited up and ready to help vs. Jets, if needed

By David Bonilla Sep 17, 2020

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mohammed Sanu, barring any complications, should join his new teammates tomorrow and practice with them for the first time since signing a one-year deal earlier this week. Tomorrow's practice will just be a walk-through. Typically, missing each full practice in the days preceding a game would reduce a player's chances of playing — especially a new player. Sanu, however, is familiar with head coach Kyle Shanahan's offense, having played within it during his time with the Atlanta Falcons. That, combined with the injury concerns at the position, could mean fans get to see Sanu out on the field against the New York

On Monday, Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker shared a message he received from an alleged San Francisco 49ers fan, who spewed offensive and racist remarks following Sunday's game between the two teams at Levi's Stadium. The user's icon in the screenshot shared by Baker featured retired tackle Joe Staley's jersey number, making it safe to assume that the individual is a fan of the Bay Area team.
