My friend has been diagnosed with Atypical TN, and she is contemplating MVD as you can see the nerve being compressed on the MRI - so hopefully the surgery will stop the pain.
However, thanks to the pain she isn't employed and has no insurance. So we're looking for funding advice. Currently based in England, but desperately wants to go to USA for surgery.
So has anyone here received help for the funding of such an operation? The cost of the op is about 70,000 US dollars - but if something goes wrong... we know it will be much more than that.
If anyone has any advice for finding funding - or has received funding themselves, please get in touch!
Thanks
Nigel

Wrong site to consult such matters. Anyway let us try to help.
however why go to US from England? If England doesnt have good neurosurgeons, (I dont believe so) India can do it at less than 2000 US dollars. I am quite serious!
