Jun was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in August. The surgeon at Makati University Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $790, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $550 short. my husband has been in and out of Makati University Hospital since August. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $790 is more than we can find. While we wait, Jun 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. Recovery is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Jun 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 $550 goes: • Hospital stay (5 nights): $370 • Post-operative medication: $70 • Physiotherapy sessions: $110 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
