brain tumour treatment cost - #21411

Drishti

I am really worried about my uncle who just got diagnosed with a brain tumour last week. He doesn’t have health insurance, and when I look up brain tumour treatment cost, I feel like I’m spiraling. The doctors said he would need surgery followed by radiation therapy, but nobody has given us a straight answer about the costs involved. Like, is brain tumour treatment cost usually super high or are there options we don’t know about? I mean, we’re a bit lost here. One doctor said the surgery alone could be in the tens of thousands, but what about everything after that? My family is freaking out about how we are going to pay for it. I just can't wrap my head around how the brain tumour treatment cost could get so crazy. Are there places that offer financial aid or sliding scale payments for someone whose brain tumour treatment cost seems totally out of reach? We were thinking of maybe looking into clinical trials, but what if that doesn’t work out? It’s all so overwhelming, and I feel guilty for not being able to help him more. Any advice or insights on brain tumour treatment cost would really mean a lot right now.
