A scheduled laparoscopic cyst removal in July is out of reach without help covering $1,350 of the cost.

In April I was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst. My surgeon at Campinas Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for July. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,700, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $1,350 short. Doctors at Campinas Orthopedic Institute told me a large ovarian cyst will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a call-centre agent, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,700 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a call-centre agent have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 weeks. I'll not be able to walk without help during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,350 goes: • Post-operative medication: $105 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,050 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $90 • Travel and lodging for the family: $105 Thanks for reading all this.
