Laparoscopic endometriosis surgery for Sofia: covering what insurance won't
After a benign brain tumor, Sofia was cleared for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.
🇸🇪 Stockholm, Stockholm, Sweden2,541 views
Sofia was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in May. The surgeon at Saint Joseph Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,000, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $4,900 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Saint Joseph Hospital since May. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Sofia struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Sofia won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $4,900 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,700
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,250
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $460
• Post-operative medication: $330
• Physiotherapy sessions: $730
• Travel and lodging for the family: $430

So sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Ikeja.
Hope it all works out. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Hope things get better soon, Lovisa. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick
how is Sofia doing now?
So sorry you're going through this, Lovisa. Hope this works out for you. Love from Quezon City.
Take care, Lovisa. Wishing Sofia a smooth procedure and a full recovery
So sorry you're going through this, Lovisa. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted.
Thinking of you, Lovisa. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Stockholm.
Wishing you the best. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Los Angeles
