Rekha was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in November. The surgeon at Mangaluru Regional Medical Center recommended septoplasty, and She is scheduled for January. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,350, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $950 short. my daughter has been in and out of Mangaluru Regional Medical Center since November. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,350 is more than we can find. While we wait, Rekha struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Rekha won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $950 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $450 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $220 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95 • Post-operative medication: $75 • Physiotherapy sessions: $85 • Travel and lodging for the family: $25 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

  • reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Athens!
