why is cancer treatment soooooo expensive? I went through chemo in 2006 and my insurance paid for almost all of it. I was shocked to see how much it "really" cost for the whole 4 treatments! And I had to have Neulasta shots for 3 of them...thank goodness my insurance covered that. Nearly $8,000 a shot! Remember the ads on tv about Neulasta? I paid for them.
