Julian's laparoscopic endometriosis surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

After a hernia that has become strangulated, Julian was cleared for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In July I was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated. My surgeon at Mississauga University Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for September. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $8,750, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $6,600 short. Doctors at Mississauga University Hospital told me a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a retail assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $8,750 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a retail assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 weeks. I'll not be able to drive 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 $6,600 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $450 • Post-operative medication: $270 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,200 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,680 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

              Sending good thoughts, Julian. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.

                Hope it all works out, Julian. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Manukau but we're thinking of you.

                  Hang in there. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Mississauga!
