Surgery fund for Agnes: septoplasty in Stockholm

After a thyroid nodule that needs removal, Agnes was cleared for septoplasty, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Agnes was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in October. The surgeon at Saint Catherine Hospital recommended septoplasty, and She is scheduled for January. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,400, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $2,700 short. my mother has been in and out of Saint Catherine Hospital since October. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,400 is more than we can find. While we wait, Agnes 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 4 weeks. During that time Agnes 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 $2,700 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $500 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $1,300 • Physiotherapy sessions: $510 • Travel and lodging for the family: $390 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Bengt
