Sheila, it still blows me away, what you are dealing with. I get herceptin every 3 weeks (350mgs?) and for the drug itseld it is about 3800, for all the administering fees my total is approximately $4000. I live in Ft. Collins CO (I'm from St. Charles, IL-40 miles west of Chicago-my mom studies nursing at Rush) and I know the two areas are quite different economically, but our cost of living is not cheap here either.
Just wanted to give you any more info for your arsenal and good luck!
Love, Joy
