8/29/25: Cost Update

By the time I had my annual oncology and cardiology appointments in June, at the tail end of our July-to-June insurance coverage year, we'd finally met our deductible, which means those appointments were fully covered. 

The only other cancer-related medical charges I had were for anastrozole, which thankfully is always fully covered. 

So for this update, I'm only listing the amount billed / retail price (which gets added to the "total cost"), since the cost to me was $0.

10/24/24: Anastrozole (generic): $545.99 
1/22/25: Anastrozole (generic): $545.99
4/18/25: Anastrozole (generic): $545.99
6/5/25: Medical Oncology NP Appointment: $273.00
6/5/25: Medical Oncology NP Hospital: $181.00
6/24/25: Cardiologist Appointment + EKG: $353.00
6/24/25: Cardiologist Hospital + EKG: $504.00 
7/19/25: Anastrozole (generic): $545.99

Total cost to date: $481,186.34
With insurance, cost to me: $16,908.63
