Peruvian Journalist Kathy Sheen Says Urgent Surgery Needed in Complicated Twin Pregnancy

She says the uninsured procedure follows a twin‑to‑twin transfusion syndrome diagnosis in her seven‑month pregnancy.

Overview

  • Sheen posted a new video on October 23 thanking supporters and asking for financial help, saying her insurance will not cover the operation.
  • She reported she is at Clínica Delgado undergoing preoperative tests for what doctors consider an emergency procedure.
  • According to her explanation, the operation would drain excess placental fluid and cauterize vessels in an effort to balance growth between the twins.
  • She said there is a real possibility of losing one baby without intervention or as a risk of the surgery itself.
  • The journalist, who announced twins in August with an expected December birth, asked followers to pray for her daughters.
