Sarah was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in February. The surgeon at Boulogne-Billancourt Community Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $8,500, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $4,200 short.
my sister has been in and out of Boulogne-Billancourt Community Hospital since February. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $8,500 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Sarah struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Sarah won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing.
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 $4,200 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $320
• Travel and lodging for the family: $310
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $2,750
• Physiotherapy sessions: $820
