Chattogram
Ishrat was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in November. The surgeon at Chattogram Regional Medical Center recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for February. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,500, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $750 short. my mother has been in and out of Chattogram Regional Medical Center since November. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ishrat struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 8 weeks. During that time Ishrat won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $750 goes: โ€ข Post-operative medication: $60 โ€ข Physiotherapy sessions: $75 โ€ข Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55 โ€ข Travel and lodging for the family: $40 โ€ข Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $520 Thank you so much.

  • Is February a hard date?

    • Sultana KabirOwnerAnswerID verified

      It's firm, February. After that things get a lot harder, so anything before then helps most. Thanks, that means a lot.

  • Rooting for you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My husband and I read this together. Blessings

    • Any update on how things are going in Chattogram?

      • sending good thoughts. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Athens.

        • Derek MorrisQuestion

          Is post-operative medication the biggest cost or is there more coming?

          • Sultana KabirOwnerAnswerID verified

            Sure. The biggest one is post-operative medication, $60. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Fair thing to want to know.

        • Hope things get better soon. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.

          • Adwoa Gloria WireduPhoto verified

            Wishing you peace, Sultana. Hope this works out for you.

            • Stay strong, Sultana. Get well soon. God bless.

              • Praying for you, Sultana. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Chattogram.
