Surgery fund for Renata: laparoscopic cyst removal in Ribeirão Preto
After a thyroid nodule that needs removal, Renata was cleared for laparoscopic cyst removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.
🇧🇷 Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Brazil3,025 views
Renata was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in July. The surgeon at Ribeirão Preto University Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,700, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,900 short.
my wife has been in and out of Ribeirão Preto University Hospital since July. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,700 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Renata struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Renata won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $1,900 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $760
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $490
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $210
• Post-operative medication: $70
• Physiotherapy sessions: $240
• Travel and lodging for the family: $130
Every share and every dollar helps.
