Surgery fund for Aarav: spinal decompression surgery in Thane

After a thyroid nodule that needs removal, Aarav was cleared for spinal decompression surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In February I was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal. My surgeon at Thane University Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for May. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,050, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $850 short. Doctors at Thane University Hospital told me a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. I work as a hotel cleaner, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,050 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. Recovery is expected to take about 3 weeks. I'll not be able to look after the children alone 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 $850 goes: • Post-operative medication: $35 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $500 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95 • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $175 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
