Cost of Treatment!
Wow. I called my insurance company to see how much the monthly injection of Sandostatin LAR was. I about fell off my chair! My oncologist told me it was $10,000 per month. They charged $17,000! This is per month, every month for the rest of my life (or for how ever long it works). CRAZY... also, thank god for insurance and no "lifetime maximum"....
