Tolga was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in November. The surgeon at İzmir University Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for February. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,650, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,250 short.
my father has been in and out of İzmir University Hospital since November. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,650 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Tolga struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Tolga won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $1,250 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75
• Physiotherapy sessions: $105
• Post-operative medication: $110
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $540
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $420
