In September 2023, my sister suffered a fall and started urinating blood. The doctor performed a bladder resection and diagnosed cancer. Another resection was performed with the hope that the cancer would disappear, but a new tumor was found and intestinal type Adenocarcinoma, a rare bladder cancer that affects 10% of the population, was diagnosed. After many tests (including PET Scan), several doctors, oncologists and urologists, determined that my sister needs to have her bladder removed (radical cystectomy), along with her uterus and ovaries, and that it has to happen as soon as possible to prevent metastasis from occurring in the rest of her body. This is a major surgery and associated risks need to be mitigated through a robotic surgery. The associated cost is out of reach for us as a family.
Medical team: $6,012
Anesthesia: $1,287
Radical Cystectomy Surgery: $8,459
Post-operative treatment + fees: $4,465
Total: 20,223
After the bladder is removed, she will use a urostomy bag, which is the outlet for urine outside the skin.
Please help me to save my sister's life!
