Boulogne-Billancourt
Jean was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in August. The surgeon at Boulogne-Billancourt Regional Medical Center recommended hip replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,750, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $5,500 short. my son has been in and out of Boulogne-Billancourt Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Jean struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Jean won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $5,500 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,100 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,650 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $410 • Post-operative medication: $320 • Physiotherapy sessions: $750 • Travel and lodging for the family: $270 With deep gratitude, Zoé
