Laparoscopic cyst removal for Carol: covering what insurance won't
A scheduled laparoscopic cyst removal in September is out of reach without help covering $5,050 of the cost.

Carol was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in June. The surgeon at London Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $10,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $5,050 short.
my daughter has been in and out of London Community Hospital since June. 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 $10,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Carol struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 8 weeks. During that time Carol won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $5,050 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,100
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,450
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $230
• Post-operative medication: $370
• Physiotherapy sessions: $570
• Travel and lodging for the family: $330

Best of luck, Skylar. Hope you get there
Keep going, Skylar. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I hope September is when things finally get easier.
hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Love from Zaria!
hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Wishing Carol a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Sent it to 11 people at work!
