It all depends on the type of insurance you have. I have a couple friends who have been treated for breast cancer recently, then had the chemo and radiation. They have had a max out of pocket per year...for one woman it was around $3500, the other was around $5000. However, that did not include the co-payments...they were neither included in the deductible or the max out of pocket, so if you throw in the co-payments for regular visits to the surgeon, oncologist, hematologist, etc., I imagine it might add up to that figure for some insurance plans.
