Dominik was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in June. The surgeon at Duisburg General Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,500, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $4,850 short. my son has been in and out of Duisburg General Hospital since June. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $6,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Dominik 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 12 weeks. During that time Dominik won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $4,850 goes: • Post-operative medication: $160 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $440 • Travel and lodging for the family: $360 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,150 • Physiotherapy sessions: $740 I hope life is good to you.
