Anushka was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in September. The surgeon at Mumbai University Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,150, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $850 short. my sister has been in and out of Mumbai University Hospital since September. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,150 is more than we can find. While we wait, Anushka struggles with daily life and can't drive. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Anushka won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $850 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $530 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50 • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $205 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
