Quezon City
Benjamin was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in April. The surgeon at Quezon City Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,550, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,250 short. my husband has been in and out of Quezon City Community Hospital since April. 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 $1,550 is more than we can find. While we wait, Benjamin struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Benjamin won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,250 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $160 • Post-operative medication: $50 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $550 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $350 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $140 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
