I have been trying to beat this disease for over 4 years. I have fairly good insurance. But as far as loosing my house, I would not go that far. I want to leave something for my survivors. I have already made a pretty good run at it and my options are running low. I guess I have been fortunate so far in my costs. I had big out of pocket costs the year before last, but I was able to cover that with a retirement lump sum. Right now I am on tarceva, which seems to be working, and my copay is $30 a months because it is considered a retail pharmacy drug. If I were to do taxoxtere, my copay would be 30%. I’m not sure, but I suppose the chemo costs about $4000 or $5000 a month…maybe less.
