Copper's Chemo Visit -- 3/27/2006

Copper had another great Chemo visit today! His blood cell count is normal, and he is still in remission!!
The Oncologyst wants me to consider Half-body radiation therapy because he is doing so well, and they believe that it will help put him into remission for up to 3 years. I have to do some research on this process before I decide if it is something we will do. The cost is $500 a half, or a total of $1000 for the treatment. He would continue to do his chemo schedule on top of this, so it would add an extra $1000 to the bill.

So if anyone has ever had this treatment or heard of this treatment, I'd appreciate your comments on the subject.

Here are the costs so far:
Recheck: $59.00
QBC or CBC In Hospital: $40.80
Chemotherapy injectable handling fee: $16.30
Vincristine (Chemo drug): $32.50
Chemotherapy Infusion: $21.30
Regulatory Agency Compliance Fee: $4.23
Total: $174.13

Grand Total: $1541.84
