What was the cost for my 18 weeks of chemotherapy for prostate cancer? Each dose of docetaxel (taxotere) was nearly $10,000 just for the one gram of medication! Then there are the costs of administering the chemo, follow up visits to check on side effects, and then the medications/treatments to treat the side effects that occur. In my case the most expensive side effect was a very low white blood cell count after each infusion. The medicine to treat that was about $10,000 a shot or $15,000 if they gave me the Neulasta auto-injector which injected the medicine the next day on its own. Thank goodness for health insurance which knocked down the prices 60 to 70 percent and capped my out-of-pocket maximum for the year at $5000. But does cancer treatment finish in one year? I am on year three now...
