Laparoscopic cyst removal for Can: covering what insurance won't

After a large ovarian cyst, Can was cleared for laparoscopic cyst removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In July I was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst. My surgeon at Ankara Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for September. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $670, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $400 short. Doctors at Ankara Orthopedic Institute told me a large ovarian cyst will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a hotel cleaner, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $670 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a hotel cleaner have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 8 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 $400 goes: • Post-operative medication: $80 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 • Physiotherapy sessions: $200 • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Can

  • Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 21 years in engineering I know how hard it is to ask for anything
