Arda was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in July. The surgeon at Kadıköy General Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,600, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,300 short.
my father has been in and out of Kadıköy General Hospital since July. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,600 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Arda 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.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Arda won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $1,300 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $170
• Physiotherapy sessions: $150
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $860
• Travel and lodging for the family: $120
