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"....

  1. That is so ridiculous what they charge for cancer treatments. They must think that people are either filthy rich, or insurance companies have all the money in the world to blow. I am so glad you have insurance though. Take care, Love ya, Pat
