Help me with Medical Expenses!

Some of you know, I've been very sick for coming up on two years. I should have made this back when I first got sick because Atlanta has one of the best Endometriosis surgeons, especially those with complex cases like mine. I have stage four Endometriosis which is when tissue that resembles the uterine lining grows in other places in the body. When it grows on organs, it bleeds and sheds like a period would. This causes inflammation, internal bleeding, complications of the organ, and chronic pain. In my case, it grows inside and outside of the reproductive system and has grown on almost every organ surrounding. It has attacked my ovaries, bladder, uterus, bowels, colon, ureters, and my diaphragm which has caused insane daily pain and immobilized my right arm in many ways. To properly treat this specific pain, I need a surgeon who can do a thoracic surgery so they can look into my whole chest cavity.

Since my diagnosis I've had four surgeries related to Endometriosis and none have addressed every problem I have and therefor I've been having surgery every six months since getting sick. Endometriosis is an auto immune disease that can grow at any rate and in my case, quickly. If I do not get this surgery as soon as possible, I really fear for what other complications it can cause. My right arm and shoulder already have very intense nerve damage that could take years to repair with physical therapy and without this surgery, that would only get worse. My fear is because I'm right handed and already have such limited mobility with my right arm, that soon I won't be able to use it. On top of that constant pain, I am also battling daily pelvic pain that in combination with my thoracic symptoms, is too much to handle.


Ken Sinervo (http://centerforendo.com/dr-ken-sinervo-1/) has seen and operated on women with my complex cases and has an amazing thoracic surgeon that would work with him as well as a general surgeon.


I do not like asking for any help, whether it's money, or even complaining like this but this disease along with the two others I have (Adenomyosis and Internal Cystitis) have completely taken away my life. I've had small glimpses of what feeling "better" could be like, but every time I seem to be back to square one trying to schedule another surgery. This is a surgery that would remove ALL Endometriosis from my body for the first time. It's a life changing surgery and the best and only step I can take to pushing forward in my life. I not only will be getting all endo removed but I will be removing my uterus which would take away any pain from Adenomyosis. I'm willing to do anything at this point to even just be 50 percent better than I am right now. I am desperate at this point to get back to enjoying life, something I haven't been able to do in almost two years.


I appreciate any help you can give and if you have any questions about my treatment or plans, please feel free to ask me.

The deposit for the surgery is 500 and then as far as the actual surgery goes, I will be paying that the day of my pre op and it could rage anywhere from 8,500 - 10,000 or more depending on what surgeries will be performed. They are now booking for the months of May and June so it's crucial that I raise the money I need as soon as possible.

Thank you for reading this and even if you cannot give, please share! Thank you so much!
