Hi Nancy-

I don't know if you are covered by insurance...

I too had difficulty obtaining the Herceptin before the ASCO conference. Now, I have it and my insurance covers it (I'm Stage I).

Anyway, my onc in Orlando FL charges just under $2000 per infusion for the "every 3 week protocol". This is what he charges the insurance company. His office staff told me that they would charge $1500 for the non-insured.
