It's always a shock to see how much my cancer treatment costs. The tally has officially crossed $300,000. Thank goodness we have insurance. I supported universal healthcare even before being diagnosed, but now I'm all the more adamant about Medicare For All.
These are the claims our insurance company paid out. We already met our deductible for this coverage year, so there was no cost to us.
5/15/20: Lupron: $571.16
5/20/20: Maintenance Herceptin #8 (Including Blood Draw, Medical Oncologist Appointment): $15,226.64
6/12/20: Maintenance Herceptin #9 + Lupron: $15,692.80
6/25/20: NP Appointment: $260.00
7/1/20: Exemestane: $1,499.99
Total cost to date: $324,285.15
With insurance, cost to me: $4,254.63
