The accountant broke it down for me and the cost of the drug was around 2500.00 and the rest was for the infusion center.

Glad to hear things are going well with you!! Please keep us posted!
Hey RW --- Don't you think that $5k is more the norm than $13k? I know that through the research that I have done for the presentation that I have given, that $2500 is pretty much the cost across the board for the drug, but the additional $11k for the infusion???? Is she buying a wing for the hospital??? My goodness!!!!
