Cost Of Chemotherapy

If you do not know anything please do not try to guess.

I do not want to give a simple answer to guess. First, the information provided by you is not enough to tell you the cost.

The cost depends on many factors as there are over 100 types of cancer in different body parts, etc., and in addition there are about 170 types of medicines. The oncologist choose a single drug or combination of drugs for the treatment of the subject of cancer.

Secondly, it depends on the number of cycles and for a given number of days. Most drugs are administered with IV fluids and some are available in capsules, tablets and all depend on the stage and grade of disease, age, general health of the patient and various tests such as blood count, etc.

Third, the cost depends on the country and the doctor and the hospital prefers to deal.

To give an assessment of the cost of all these are necessary.

To my wife of a patient with stage IIIB cervical cancer, two cycles of four days of a combination of drugs were given in a moderate type of hospital and I prevailed certain concessions. Even then, I had to spend a little more than Rs 1.20 lakes in Bangalore, India (the equivalent of $ 3,000)

The best thing would be to check with the local hospital and your oncologist. Anyway please treat the disease fully as cancer is still an enigma ..

Chemo is expensive. It depends on the drug. If you do not have insurance or public aid, check with the American Cancer Society to see what resources are available in your area. No one should go without treatment.

Chemotherapy is about 2000.00 dollars after your insurance company take all their discount it around from 1400.00 per treatment

Ok

the question is a little open

How many visits? for how long? what type of drug?

each type of cancer has a whole differnet drugs or other "cocktail" of drugs and differential treatment and dosages so differnt

Some chemotherapy drugs are cheap - as DEX (a few dollars for a months supply, it is oral, then take it home

others are very expensive and require some time in the cancer center (think of a room floor with 25 small rooms with beds and a room length of 40 or 50 lazy boy chairs with IV beside them

Medications such as Velcade ($ 6,200 per month) and there are others that cost more and does not include the President "($ 320 per hour), the pump ($ 122), most other things .

I just received my bill for last months of pamidronate treatment (so do a lot once a month), the bill was $ 1358.72 total and I had 36 treatments (wow - $ 48,913.32)

without good insurance, it stacks fast when I was diagnosed, I was assured poor (better than nothing) and I had more than 25K in collaboration pays medical bills.

hope this answers your question.

36 months and still there

Chemotherapy refers to a multitude of different drugs used for various types of cancer. Sometimes, chemotherapy is given by a single drug, or sometimes in combinations. Chemotherapy is also given according to the stage of cancer and may take several treatments, while some treatments against cancer can go for months. The dosage is also important and related costs. Thus, at most we can all give you a basic idea of what it might cost.

My son received a high dose chemotherapy as patients hospitalized for nine months when first diagnosed. Later, he had low-dose chemotherapy at home. So this is just a general idea. It is covered by insurance of the anthem and the States of our children with special needs.

During five days of hospitalization was the total cost of $ 54,199.

$ 45,095.
