Default Reached the max out of pocket amount for yr.

Keith called today to let me know that he'd gotten his copy of the insurance payment for his first round of the chemo. The white blood cell booster shots were $3,500 each ! He had two of those.
Chemo ranges from $500-700 per day, he had 14 days.

He still hasn't added in bills for the SECOND round of chemo, but has passed the $40K mark for all of his bills from the cancer since the first dr appt.
Makes me really really stop and say prayers for ANY who might be having to go thru this without any insurance.

BTW, he's doing good, pollen is doing a number on the sinuses right now but otherwise feeling good.
