The retail costs for cancer treatment are mind-boggling. Last we checked, my treatment has run somewhere in the $500-$600k range. Thankfully, my wife has fantastic health insurance and her employer has been more than accommodating with her having to take time off to shuttle me to-and from chemo rounds. It scares me to think what people with no health insurance (or underinsured) do in these situations.
