Totally agree! My husband is lucky he has survived pancreatic cancer for 16 years. (Cancer was a rare one) he has had lanreotide shot that they bill at $56,000 per shot each month, but insurance takes it down to $1400 a shot. It keeps tumors from growing in his liver.
He had a very successful job and got sick at the age of 49. We’ve saved all our life, he was healthy this cancer was genetic in the family. we did everything right. They sacked him because of new management. He worked thru his sickness almost died twice. In America you better hope you never get sick, cause you will go bankrupt.
Is your bill due to the cost of the shot? If so, are you able to see if the pharmaceutical company offers a discount program? I am so sorry you’re going through this - I’ve personally experienced this a few times in my life and it’s awful.
