In a forum post saw the following breakdown for the treatment I am getting, oh boy am I lucky to be insured.
Treatment 1 through 4 ( AC-chemodrugs +Aloxi-antinausea med+Decadron-steroid)
4 X 1200 = 4800
Treatment 5 through 8 ((taxol, decadron, aloxi, benedryl and zantac)
4 X 3074 = 12,296
Treatment 1 through 8 Neulesta shot to boost the white blood cell production.
8 X 5600 = 44,800
This is only the treatments given at the doctors office until end of chemo, I am not even considering all the different the antinausea meds that I am given ( one is 100 usd a pop, the other is 500 usd for 18 tablets)
Total : 61,896
Mind you this is only the cost of chemo.. the presurgery diagnostics cat scans, mris' biopsies, surgery costs are not included.
Plus the antihormone meds that I probably will be taking after chemo are an arm& a leg do not even want to think about that.
