Read your later post before your earlier. Sorry you had cancer. You don’t say what kind or where you received your treatments. I’m sorry but I don’t believe your costs. Willing to blank out personal info and post the bill on here?
My mom had cancer TWICE - treated at the Cleveland Clinic - went through radiation treatments, surgeries, and chemo for months and months. She also had complications and had to remain hospitalized longer than most patients in both cases.
The total of the treatments for both didn’t even come close to millions. Meanwhile, she did have a $12,000 PET scan.
I think you are exaggerating because you are anonymous and it’s easy to “fib” on line.
Show the bill and I’ll believe it.
Instead of demanding them showing the bill, show your Mother’s. I suspect your Mom was covered by insurance.
My Dad had esophagus cancer...retired military (flag officer). The treatment lasted several years and was over, you guessed it, a million bucks.
Multiple surgeries, chemo, and he finally succombed to it.
I remember sitting with my Sisters and adding up the drug costs alone...over $200K.
And no, I’m not willing to post a bill on here. I was in the Children’s Cancer Caring Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami off and on from September 1, 1986 through October 5, 1987.
I had double-coverage because both my parents worked for the same coverage, so we ended up paying none of the expenses. We went back after the last bill was done, and we added it up for the curiosity factor.
When I was asked to participate in the Make-A-Wish Foundation program, I asked to, and was granted the wish to meet Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart. Current US House Representative Dan Gelber was working with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and he facilitated the meeting. I hate that hes’ a Democrat, but I remain grateful to him for what he did for a kid he’d never met until then, all to make it so that my chemo was easier.
Any more information you’d like?
