Radiation therapy cost - #12565

Aasha

I am really worried about this whole cancer thing and just trying to figure out what's next. I got diagnosed a couple weeks ago, and they mentioned radiation therapy like it's the go-to option after surgery. But now I'm looking up stuff about radiation therapy cost, and wow, it’s all over the place. Some sites say it can range from $10,000 to $50,000, which is just insane! I don’t have that kind of money sitting around. My insurance is helping, but I’m hearing about a bunch of out-of-pocket expenses that could still hit us hard! I mean, how do people manage with radiation therapy cost? Like, I was told it’s effective, but if I end up bankrupted from treatment, what’s the point? Also, does it really depend on where you go, or how many sessions you need, or something? I feel like I’m drowning in this info, and then on top of that, what if the treatment doesn’t work? Ugh!! It makes me want to scream! If anyone has gone through this nightmare, what can I expect with radiation therapy cost? Anything specific to ask the doctors?? Like, any hidden fees or things I should be aware of? Ugh, I just want to focus on getting better, but all this $$$ seems so overwhelming!! Help!
