I was lucky to have good healthcare insurance, a fair amount of financial reserves, and the knowledge that only the best healthcare would save my life. MD Anderson did just that. Nina is alive and has no evidence of disease because MD Anderson was there. We had $600,000 in treatment in 2012 and paid $7500 plus travel expenses. Nina was not given 90 days and now we are looking at another 25 years of life. How much is that worth? That is something each person must ask of themselves. Nina would have been dead at Christmas 2009 without the care that happened then. What is the right amount to pay, for me it was everything, but others would second guess me.
