Help me pay for laparoscopic cyst removal at Eldoret General Hospital
After a thyroid nodule that needs removal, Mussa was cleared for laparoscopic cyst removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In June I was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal. My surgeon at Eldoret General Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for September. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $800, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $600 short.
Doctors at Eldoret General Hospital told me a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a restaurant cook, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $800 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a restaurant cook have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 8 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift 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 $600 goes:
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $480
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70
• Post-operative medication: $50
Glad we found this place.
