A partial thyroidectomy for Asif: covering what insurance won't
A scheduled a partial thyroidectomy in May is out of reach without help covering $400 of the cost.

In January I was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal. My surgeon at Narayanganj University Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for May. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $500, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $400 short.
Doctors at Narayanganj University Hospital told me a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. I work as a market vendor, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $500 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a market vendor have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Recovery is expected to take about 7 weeks. I'll not be able to climb stairs during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did.
Where the $400 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $190
• Travel and lodging for the family: $50
• Physiotherapy sessions: $85
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
