Help me pay for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery at Madrid University Hospital
A scheduled laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in January is out of reach without help covering $5,150 of the cost.
🇪🇸 Madrid, Madrid, Spain3,260 views
In November I was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor. My surgeon at Madrid University Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for January. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $8,500, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $5,150 short.
Doctors at Madrid University Hospital told me a benign brain tumor will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a delivery rider, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $8,500 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a delivery rider have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. I'll not be able to stand for more than ten minutes 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 $5,150 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,300
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,900
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $320
• Post-operative medication: $120
• Physiotherapy sessions: $240
• Travel and lodging for the family: $270
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hang in there, Sami. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Jakarta Barat.
Take care, Sami. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

Rooting for you, Sami. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Heliopolis but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Sami. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope February is when things finally get easier. Blessings
Best of luck, Sami. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 20 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Mumbai.
