omg!!! typo
Sorry to freak everyone out...typing skills lack sometimes as proofreading too!! Robert's liver resection was 180,000 after all was said and done(drs, drugs, room board,etc)..NOT 800,000!!!! Ins ended up paying 120,000.

Whew!
$800,000 is enough to give you a heart attack (which would cost you another $500,000)

That's what I think Phil but look to Lori,s post
175.000 just for colon resection not other organs envolved !May be worth to come to Anderson,s Madrid! they got the same surgery facilities on surgery, not with chemo as most of the US trials are not approved yet by EMEA in this we got a big delay compared with the US.

Hey Pepe
Just my colon was enough for me. I'd rather have my colon back but who knows what they would charge for that!

My week at Mayo in
My week at Mayo in Rochester, MN for colon resection (no liver) was 100K
I throw this into the pot because people tend to think Mayo= major bucks. And although 100K is nothing to sneeze at, I believe it is the going rate. My insurance covered it 100 percent. Shows how much insurance has changed in 2 years- they would still cover it now, but my deductible piece would be 10K.
