Xuân was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in January. The surgeon at Hanoi Regional Medical Center recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and She is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,700, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $850 short. my mother has been in and out of Hanoi Regional Medical Center since January. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,700 is more than we can find. While we wait, Xuân struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 7 weeks. During that time Xuân 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 $850 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 • Post-operative medication: $45 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $340 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $310 • Physiotherapy sessions: $85 Thank you so much.

  • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Xuân

      Sure. The biggest one is pre-operative tests and imaging, $70. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. It helps to be asked.

  • Stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out.

    • Hope things get better soon. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.

      • Thanks for sharing this, Châu. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Cologne so I could bring a meal. All the best
