Guest guest Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Seems $1500 is low ,I would get things on paper,get copies of all tests,good luck. [ ] Cash patient Hi Buddies, I just had my first visit to the hematologist, nice guy and open to work with me on my CML ( I'll see what happen's later on). A bone marrow biopsy, aspirate, cytogenetics, flow cytometry, PCR. the aproximate price they gave me at the hospital was $1,500 do you think this price is accurate or is wrong?. I just do not want to receive my bill for $15,000. As you know I'm a cash patient thus my concern. After the testing I'll start with Gleevec 400 mg as soon as novartis help me and send it to me, but this might take a couple of weeks. I would really appreciate if somebody shares some gleevec that wont use! Thanks in advance. ____________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _ Looking for last minute shopping deals?

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Yes, that's what I think...but there is no way to find the real cost....they transfer me from one place to another and nobody knows.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 I understood. I am so glad someone can help him a little. I do not have any but I only live a couple of hours away from Ed and I tell you it is beyond me why he has no health coverage. I would fine it impossible to get through this without. Crap the pills alone cost in the thousands. He needs some help. Hopefully our new president will solve this situation.
