My lumpectomy surgery was over $12,000, surgeon fees were over $1200.
My port placement cost over $6000, not including the doctor fees (another $1000). Then take into account pathologist, anesthesiologist, fees.
My chemo was over $1200 every 3 weeks (A/C), and Herceptin was $3745 the first time. Now it's $3100 plus $200 "other" and $115 doctor visit fees. That's every 3 weeks.
The rads were over $31,000.
I had a Pet/CT scan that cost $4700, a bone scan and a couple ct scans.
Add to that the cost of my medicine. Even the co-pay has totaled over $500 so far this year.
I am so glad I have insurance!
