Cancer by the numbers

I'm an analytical person, so of course I want to keep track of cost in money, time, and needle sticks (since I don't particularly like them). This is NOT a plea for a gofundme page, just informational - especially in light of congress wanting to repeal the ACA. I am an educator at heart. 

I am so very grateful for my employer-sponsored health insurance, which gives me a $250 personal deductible and $1,000 personal limit on co-insurance per year. I am going to hit it quickly!

Here's what we have so far:

• Cancer diagnosis (total billed/my personal cost): $16,848/$283
• Surgery: $20,064/$874 (so far)
• # of appointments: 6
• # of needle sticks: 10+ (I don't know what was done while I was unconscious)
