I understand alot of you are in larger cities but I am shocked at the difference in price from there to here. My AC was $3200 x 4, TH $2600 x 12, then H $ 1400 a week for 40 weeks, not to mention mastectomy with all the add-ins $12,000, lumpectomy $7000, scans $3000-$6000, $400 per echo, $30 co-pay for onc ofc visits, etc., etc....even at what seems discounted prices I have accumulated at $100,000 worth of bills in 1 year. Insurance pays 80%, and that leaves me with around $20,000 I am responsible for plus $400 family insurance premiums monthly. And YES, they all want their money NOW! my dining room table is covered, so I draw 3 out every week and send them $10.00 each...what else can a single mom of three eating machines do??? BUT.....

The cost of being here with my kids and being cancer-free: Priceless
