Shelby's Hysterectomy
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Shelby, I am 28 years old and recently moved from South Dakota to Wyoming to live with my fiancé. A few weeks ago I went to the walk in clinic because I hadn't been feeling very well and checked my blood pressure at Wal-Mart, it told me to immediately find a physician and seek help so off we went. After some blood tests they determined I had lost half my blood content (my hemoglobin was 6.4) and I needed to be transferred to the ER for a blood transfusion. I received two units of blood and had an emergency surgery where they biopsied my uterus and my results show that I have pre-cancerous cell growth and I will need a complete hysterectomy.
I have not started work yet with all of this going on and I will not be able to work for about 6 weeks after my surgery. I do not have any insurance so this is all out of pocket. I have applied for financial assistance from the clinic but have not heard anything back yet.
My surgery is estimated to be around $4,500.00 but I will be billed separately for anesthesia, etc.
I attached a photo of one of my drs reports but I am more than willing to answer anyone's questions or provide more photos from my test results.
Thank you for taking the time to read this far, I hope you all have a wonderful day!
