Cancer isn't cheap.

Harkening back to my first text to my wife after my diagnosis - "Is this going to be expensive?", it is no secret that cancer treatment has placed many families in a place from which they will never financially recover. 🐯👑

Luckily, I have very good insurance through my employer, so I'd like to extend my appreciation to my work and all of you healthy colleagues who pay into our group plan every month.  I have done my best to be vigilant in communicating with my caregivers and insurance company to mitigate the costs of my treatment and keep everything in-network.  I am doing my best to save us all as much money as possible, but mostly me.

There have been a number of charges that I've had to contest after receiving my Explanation of Benefits (EOB), but so far they have all been appealed successfully. I am keeping a spreadsheet of the costs for those who are curious, which includes any information that I deemed pertinent.  Here is the link to the spreadsheet: Tom's Medical Costs
