Ever wonder what cancer care actually costs? Here are my real numbers from 2026 so far. ---- 👉 Insurance: $1,240/mo for me, my wife and kid. No subsidy. ~$15K a year. 👉 Out-of-pocket max: $10,600. Hit it. ---- 👉 Radiation planning: $7,078 billed, $809 insurance, $347 me 👉 CT scan: $6,376 billed, $635 insurance, $0 me 👉 Nerve block (took 5 minutes): $3,430 billed, $1,096 insurance, $0 me 👉 Lorbrena, 1 month (30 pills): $67,292 retail, $19,916 insurance, $0 for me thanks to manufacturer copay assistance I still don't understand. 🚨 Total billed for my care this year: $969,804 🚨 ---- Almost a million dollars. Nobody actually paid that. Nobody can tell you what any of it really costs, including the people sending the bills. In total, I'll end up paying ~$25k for all care in 2026 for myself and my family (almost all of it for me).
