Ryan was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in June. The surgeon at Quezon City University Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $500, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $300 short. my husband has been in and out of Quezon City University Hospital since June. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ryan struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Ryan won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $300 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $85 • Post-operative medication: $50 • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 • Physiotherapy sessions: $115 Thank you so much.
