Kelly was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in August. The surgeon at Campinas University Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,050, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,650 short.
my mother has been in and out of Campinas University Hospital since August. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,050 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Kelly struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 3 weeks. During that time Kelly won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $1,650 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $110
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,200
• Physiotherapy sessions: $210
• Travel and lodging for the family: $130
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
