Abuheekmat:


And you think all the doctors and consultants in UNTH are not capable of carrying out the surgery?

And concerning the NHIS.. I have been seeing their office in this hospital too. Will find out about it.

If am to get you clearly, you said chemotherapy is better than carrying out surgery right?

.enlighten me about this..


We are already in the hospital awaiting surgery
Wait so what you are saying is that this nigerian doctors never told you anything about chemotherapy all they want is to open your mother's skull. Like I said they are supposed to carry out an assessment (MRI, cat scan) of her brain, her spine (at times cancerous tissue suddenly appears in the spine there have been cases like that) her whole body , bone marrow tests etc. Surgery should be the last last last option. That's why I told tou to go to scoan because it is only in Africa that someone would need treatment that drugs can solve but the doctors would recommend surgery because they want money. Anyway did they give you a reason why they want to operate on her. Be careful they was a doctor in America who was doing something similar to this what was required was a minor surgery but he always did something else because he wanted more money.

Like I said, we are already in the hospital, we have done countless tests, both blood on scan. We went to opthamology clinic and so cardiology clinic for clearing of fit for surgery.. Every step you expected have been taken and we are awaiting surgery..

Our surgery has been postponed several times due to non availability of space in ICU.. It's the postponement that affected our financial capacity and the unbudgeted medications and tests..

And we will still foot the bill of the surgery which we only deposited part payment..

It's due to this am sourcing help for financial aid..


..
I actually haven't heard anything about chemotherapy from the doctors or the consultant.. Would ask them about it though.. Probably it will commence after the surgery or so.. Because we would be placed on check ups after we are discharged. Met someone with similar case that has been discharged and was placed on check ups for 3 weeks or so..

When did the OP ever say his mother had cancer?
What is the point of chemotherapy in a non cancerous tumor?

Chemotherapy also applies to brain tumour if radiotherapy can't subdue the regrowing back of the tumor. Chemotherapy is the last resort treatment for stopping the regrowth of the tumor that's if it's tumour that will regrow

Hello...


The tumor may not even be cancerous and besides surgery is sometimes all takes to eliminate even some cancers.


You think surgery is bad? Chemo can be worse.

Not all tumors require chemo though most oncologists may add it as a "topping" to stay on the "safe side".

Surgery is not the last option in cancers (if it’s even cancer) Stop saying what you don’t know.

Surgery is usually a first step if the mass is something that can be safely removed. Then chemotherapy and/or radiation to remove what’s left (again if it’s cancer).

Asalam alaekum warahmatulah wabarakahtuhu my brothers and sisters.

We(my mum and I) have been in University Of Nigeria Teaching Hospital in Enugu for over 2 months now due to the surgery on brain tumor that was diagnosed by Pathway Hospital In Oshogbo before we were referred to UNTH.
Alhamdulilah for the successful surgery which is excision of the tumor and craniotomy too. She had 2 surgery at once. Alhamdulilah she's absolutely getting better and the Histopathography result shows Transitional Megnioma Grade 1 (World Health Organization). Which is the best result that can be expected.
We were discharged on Saturday and our bill is absolutely higher than what we can dream to afford. It's over 700 thousand. Surgery fee is 500 thousands (craniotomy +brain tumor excision) while hospital bill is 281 thousand.. We have deposited 120 thousand naira... We have even spent more than 800 thousands in getting the surgery kits, tens of tests, MRI, Chest Scan and series of consultant clinic attending (endocrinologist, Cardiologist, Neurologist)..

I really never expected A Nigerian teaching hospital fees to be so expensive.. Hmm..

We need all the help we could get.. Sharing this message is also part of helping. No amount is small..

Just left Chief Medical Director Office on our issue. Met with him again and explain my case. He said Federal Government is not funding the hospital. So waving of bill is impossible. There's nothing else I could say to persuade him..

Asalam alaekum warahmatulah wabarakahtuhu my brothers and sisters.

We(my mum and I) have been in University Of Nigeria Teaching Hospital in Enugu for months (since March 19) due to the surgery on brain tumor that was diagnosed by Pathway Hospital In Oshogbo before we were referred to UNTH. The surgery was done on 8th of May.
Alhamdulilah for the success of the surgery. Alhamdulilah she is getting better day by day and the Histopathography result shows Transitional Megnioma Grade 1 (World Health Organization). Which is the best result that can be expected.
We were discharged on 25th of May and our bill is absolutely higher than what we can dream to afford. It's over 700 thousand. Surgery fee is 500 thousands (craniotomy +brain tumor excision) while hospital bill is 281 thousand.. We have deposited 120 thousand naira... We have even spent more than 800 thousands in getting the surgery kits, tens of tests, MRI, Chest Scan and series of consultant clinic attending (endocrinologist, Cardiologist, Neurologist)..

Total amount we need now is 600 thousand in which we have managed to get 200 thousand.

I really never expected A Nigerian teaching hospital fees to be so expensive.. I even met with the CMD (Chief Medical Director) twice about waiving of bill which he refused on the point that federal government are not funding the hospital.

We need all the help we could get.. Sharing this message is also part of helping. No amount is small..
