I felt similar about my Herceptin. A 3 week infusion was $3745, not including the "chemo supplies" and doctor fees. That amounts to $166.43 a day over 30 days.
I couldn't even afford the co-pay, which was $608 every 3 weeks.

Thank goodness for insurance and a compassionate Onc.

I don't mind them making money, but if they price it out of reach, what good will it do?
