Are you worth $187,000.00?  Seems like a crazy way to put a price on life but that is what hospitals and policies do.  My treatment, immunotherapy, is costing $187,000.00.  It is actually worth more than what most hospitals put value on human life.  This newly cleared FDA treatment is expensive and it’s only the beginning.  I still have to get to remission for a stem cell transplant.  Who knows how much that is going to cost.  Yikes.   How much does human life cost?  What would you pay to stay alive?   I know I have never really talked about the cost or expense of this whole cancer thing before but it definitely begs the question.  What would you pay to stay alive?
