Hello. I'm new to this site so I'm not nearly as educated as many of these women but I do have my bill in front of me.

I am treated at Hospital of the University of Pennsylvanie, which is an NCI center here in Philadelphia.

I am charged $7,525.00 for each herceptin dose which I receive every three weeks. The bill lists "43 Herceptin 10mg.". I weigh about 160 pounds.

I am very fortunate in that I have an HMO health insurance policy and I only pay a $30 co-pay for my treatment.

Hope this helps.

Good Luck to you.

Gina
