In July I was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor. My surgeon at Naples Regional Medical Center recommended a craniotomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for September. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $6,750, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $4,750 short. Doctors at Naples Regional Medical Center told me a benign brain tumor will get worse without a craniotomy. I work as a call-centre agent, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $6,750 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. Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. I'll not be able to climb stairs during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did. Where the $4,750 goes: • Hospital stay (2 nights): $2,100 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $420 • Travel and lodging for the family: $250 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,980 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Monica

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Monica

      • Monica Elisa CoppolaOwnerAnswer1mo ago

        Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. hospital stay (2 nights) comes first ($2,100) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. It helps to be asked.

    • Sending strength, Monica. Shared it with a few friends. All the best

      • Wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from New York.

        • wishing you peace, Monica. It takes guts to ask. Well done.

          • Keep going. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Naples.
