Hi JBC44. It sounds as though you and I are in about the same place. My husband was diagnosed right around the new year, also stage 4. He’s received 3 rounds of chemo, but he gets Gemzar each time and Cisplatin once per round. As you said, some days are pretty good, others are really LOW. I am afraid that I can’t help with the insurance question. Luckily, I just retired and have Steve on my insurance, plus he gets insurance through his work. I was shocked to find out that one day of chemo (both Cisplatin and Gemzar) runs $5800! We have not received any bills yet. I only pray that between the two insurances, our part will be significantly reduced. I just want you to know that I am thinking about you and your husband. This really stinks, doesn’t it? Who’d have thought we’d have to be visiting at a website like this. Still, the support is encouraging! Is there a church or other civic group in your city that might be willing to help out?
Hi, my name is Cindy. My husband was diagnosed with Cholangiocarcinoma a couple months ago. He has stage 4. He has good days and bad days so far. He is taking Gemzar as his chemo. He had a port put in. I am looking for help on this site as the chemo is not fully covered. If anyone has any info on who helps with chemo co-pays it would be helpful. He was in the service in the 60s and was in Korea for a year. I am finding out about a paraite from there for drinking the water there and eating the fish. That could be the cause of this cancer, I have filed with the VA on this…does anyone have any info on this being the cause of their cancer? Thanks ahead for any info.
