Metin's a partial thyroidectomy can't wait - please help us cover the bill
A scheduled a partial thyroidectomy in July is out of reach without help covering $1,150 of the cost.
🇹🇷 Istanbul, Türkiye887 views
Metin was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in April. The surgeon at Istanbul General Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and He is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,300, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,150 short.
my son has been in and out of Istanbul General Hospital since April. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,300 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Metin struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Metin won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $1,150 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,050
• Travel and lodging for the family: $35
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $65
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
