Laparoscopic cyst removal for Ananya: covering what insurance won't
A scheduled laparoscopic cyst removal in February is out of reach without help covering $950 of the cost.
🇮🇳 Thrissur, Kerala, India2,514 views
In November I was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst. My surgeon at Thrissur Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for February. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,250, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $950 short.
Doctors at Thrissur Community Hospital told me a large ovarian cyst will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a care assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,250 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a care assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
The recovery period is expected to take about 6 weeks. I'll not be able to walk without help 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 $950 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $90
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $490
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $370
Thanks for being kind about this.

Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Iloilo City but we're thinking of you. Take care.
Sending good thoughts, Ananya. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 4 people at work. God bless.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Thrissur
Rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ananya
Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update. All the best!
take care. Wishing Ananya a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Please keep us posted. All the best.
Rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
