Carlo was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in June. The surgeon at Mandaue University Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,800, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,250 short. my husband has been in and out of Mandaue University Hospital since June. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,800 is more than we can find. While we wait, Carlo struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Carlo won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. 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 $1,250 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $400 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $430 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $105 • Post-operative medication: $70 • Physiotherapy sessions: $165 • Travel and lodging for the family: $80 Thank you for reading my story.
