Cost of Care

As I sit here in the chair getting my IV drip of Cytoxan I was looking around and counting the other people here: there are 10 including me. The type of chemotherapy I'm getting consists of 3 drugs and costs over $10,000 for each treatment. The Neulasta injection that I get to boost blood cell production costs (if I read the bill correctly) over $7,000. Cancer is a serious money maker for hospitals.
