Dear Friends,
I’m reaching out to you today to ask for your support in helping my friend, Nadene, cover the cost of an urgent procedure.
In 2019, Nadene first felt a dull pain in her throat. After checking in the mirror, she saw a small lump that grew more noticeable with swallowing. Concerned, she quickly made an appointment with her doctor.
Blood tests and a biopsy revealed a small adenoid near the thyroid area. The doctor recommended yearly check-ups to monitor any changes. While things remained relatively stable for a few years, in 2023 the pain worsened, and the lump began to grow significantly.
In November 2024, after persistent discomfort, Nadene returned to the doctor. An ultrasound showed that the lump had grown into a nodule in the right lobe of the thyroid, with multiple calcifications and cystic changes. A biopsy has been scheduled for December 19, 2024, to determine the nature of the nodule and guide the next steps in treatment.
Unfortunately, due to being unemployed for the past six months and unable to secure a job, she does not have insurance coverage for this procedure. The total cost for the biopsy, lab work, and
associated fees is $3,000 CAD, and she simply cannot afford it.
Here’s how the money will be used:
- Biopsy Procedure: The cost of the biopsy itself, which is necessary to determine the nature of the thyroid nodule.
- Lab Fees: Expenses related to processing the biopsy and analyzing the results.
- Administrative Costs: Fees for scheduling, paperwork, and other necessary administrative tasks. Follow-up
- Follow-Up Care: After the biopsy results, any follow-up appointments or medications required to address potential findings, ensuring Nadene gets the care she needs for her thyroid condition.
We are asking for any help, no matter how small, to assist my friend in covering these costs and getting the essential care she needs. Your contribution will help determine what steps need to be taken next and whether further treatment is required.
We know that times are hard for everyone, and we truly appreciate any amount you can donate, as well as your support in sharing this campaign with others. Every donation will make a difference and bring us one step closer to helping my friend get the care she deserves.
Thank you so much for your kindness, generosity, and support during this challenging time.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Sean Clue
P.S. Please keep Nadene in your thoughts and prayers. Your support means the world.
