I had relapse. One of the options given to me is chemo + stem cell transplant which was the ideal treatment for me. Unfortunately stem cell transplant is so expensive that's why I opted for the other option which is chemo alone. I'll start next week. Praying for good result.

The 18 weeks of 6 sessions of chemo alone cost about $500, 000. Transplant, I don’t know, but I am guessing another $500, 000 because you need to be hospitalized for a whole week after transplant $10, 000 a day per night at the hospital), then like a whole month of daily follow up visit.

So expect $1mil expense without insurance.
