Xiaocao, a patient in our family, belongs to the unfortunate one. Although the preoperative clinical stage was 1, it recurred and metastasized 8 months after operation. After 20 months of anti-cancer, after enjoying all kinds of reimbursement, I paid 300 thousand at my own expense, so that I could get better and control stably.
Our family is doing the treatment of immune cell reinfusion NKT combined with oral targeted drugs, hoping to achieve long-term survival with tumors. The annual cost of this program is about 200,000 yuan. It is said that cell transfusion has no drug resistance, but the drug resistance of targeted drugs will appear in a year or so. Let's put aside drug resistance and the long-term effectiveness of this program for our family. Let's talk about economic accounts. How much does it cost? Our little Cao is 53 years old. Through hard work and active treatment, if he can live to 80 years old, he needs 5.4 million yuan, and other emergencies have not been taken into account. But as a husband, I must go all out to sell the car first and then when necessary. But it is also a blessing that Cancer can make you spend money, but money is definitely not everything. A healthy and happy life comes first, and everything else is just a cloud.
I share the real case of our family and the plan to be implemented with you and everyone, hoping to have reference and help.
I'm hematologic cancer, which is leukemia. After two years of treatment, the total cost was about1600,000, of which 300,000 was reimbursed by medical insurance, and the cost was about1300,000, which was basically cured. Some patients are cured for only a few hundred thousand yuan, and some patients die for more than four million yuan. How much you spend, whether you live or die, depends on luck, and the doctor can't tell. Treating cancer is like stock trading, with seven losses, two draws and one gain. Just like gambling, gambling is also gambling. Those with money can bet big, and those without money can bet small. Anyway, it's all gambling. Gambling, of course. Lose more and win less, of course. Regardless of the size of the bet. It depends on whether you dare to gamble, admit defeat and accept your fate.
When I was diagnosed with leukemia, I told my family that I had gambled all 2 million and left when I lost all. I won't play again. Although the world is good, I won't come in the next life. I'm willing to bet and lose. If I lose everything, I can only accept my fate. I'm not allowed to have trouble with the doctor. Be grateful for winning the bet and do more good deeds for the rest of your life. Now I have basically recovered, won the bet, and want to go to remote mountainous areas to teach and give back to the social reconstruction.
Classification of major cancer treatment costs
The cost of surgical treatment for common cancers (such as gastric cancer and liver cancer), including anesthesia, is generally about 654.38 million yuan, but it does not include the use of instruments and equipment such as stapler. The cost of simple breast cancer surgery and thyroid cancer surgery is generally less than 6.5438+0 million yuan.
If an abnormality is found during the operation and it is necessary to increase the amount of blood transfusion or other drugs, the cost will increase. Due to different levels of hospitals, fees may fluctuate.
If there are no special circumstances, you can leave the hospital within 15 days after operation. The cost of postoperative rehabilitation should be determined according to the patient's economic situation and whether there are complications in the same inch. Once complications occur, it is difficult to estimate the cost.
On the whole, it is estimated that the cost of surgical treatment for a single cancer is generally around 20 thousand yuan (except in special circumstances), and the price increase is not considered here.
chemotherapy
The charge for chemotherapy drugs is more complicated. First of all, charge according to the number of uses. Each drug charges differently, and imported drugs are more expensive than domestic drugs. Secondly, chemotherapy drugs should be treated with different drugs according to the patient's condition and cancer type. Generally speaking, ordinary chemotherapy costs about 3,000 yuan and 5,000 yuan at a time, and it takes 4-6 courses of treatment.
radiotherapy
Because the equipment of radiotherapy is expensive, and the medical staff who do radiotherapy also have radiation damage, there should be additional subsidies for medical staff, so the price of radiotherapy is also high.
In addition, the side effects of radiotherapy also need targeted treatment, so the extra cost of radiotherapy is also high.
The cost of radiotherapy in different hospitals in different regions is also different. Generally, a first-class hospital costs about 2,000-3,000 yuan/course, and it takes several courses to more than a dozen courses according to the condition and the patient's physique and sensitivity.
Biological immunotherapy
The cost of biological immunotherapy is relatively low, only one hospitalization fee and cell culture fee are needed. The course of biotherapy is relatively short, only 1-2 courses are needed, and the effect is remarkable. The general cost of the hospital is1.8-20,000 yuan/course of treatment, and there is no additional auxiliary treatment cost.
Reasonable selection of drugs and treatment schemes In the early stage of cancer, if the patient's condition permits, one of them can be selected for separate treatment, especially biological immunotherapy, which can save a lot of money. However, because people's understanding of cancer is not in place, cancer is often found in the late stage, and it needs to be combined with various treatment methods to carry out more complicated treatment programs. In order to save the relative cost, some efforts should be made in selecting drugs and treatment schemes.
First of all, if choosing a hospital with poor technology increases the anxiety of patients, it will also affect the progress of the disease and postoperative rehabilitation, so the cost of surgery cannot be reduced on the basis of choice.
Then, we can only adjust the choice of drugs. Many patients think that imported drugs are more effective than domestic drugs, and would rather spend more money than use good drugs, which is also carried out when economic conditions permit. In fact, there is not much difference in efficacy between domestic anticancer drugs and imported drugs at present, and of course, the side effects are similar, but the prices of the two drugs are quite different, which is also an aspect for foreign drug dealers to make money by taking advantage of China people's psychology. Therefore, for patients with poor economic conditions, doctors can try their best to help patients choose domestic drugs with suitable conditions and reasonable prices.
Biological immunotherapy is another magic weapon to reduce costs during surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. As we all know, postoperative rehabilitation is needed; The side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy are great, and a series of targeted treatments are needed for them. The follow-up costs of the above two methods are quite high, and some even exceed the cost of the treatment itself. Moreover, the above three treatment methods can not completely cure cancer cells, which is easy to cause metastasis and recurrence.
Biotherapy is an important supplement to cancer cells that cannot be eliminated by surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and has obvious killing effect on non-proliferative tumor cells such as tumor stem cells. He can remove small residual lesions that cannot be removed by surgery; Can kill dormant tumor cells that chemotherapy drugs can't kill. Therefore, biological immunotherapy has become a very key measure to improve the cure rate of tumors in the comprehensive treatment scheme of tumors. Biological immunotherapy not only has no side effects, but also can minimize the side effects and make the treatment effect reach the best state when combined with the three major treatment methods.
In addition, biotherapy has been included in medical insurance, and a certain proportion of expenses can be reimbursed, saving a large part of expenses for cancer patients. It is a doctor's sacred duty to help cancer patients treat diseases. It is the responsibility of every doctor to help patients spend their money on the cutting edge, consider cancer treatment for a long time from the perspective of economics, and improve the efficiency of treatment expenses as much as possible.
I am Tan Feng Tao, director of the Nutrition Department, and I am committed to sharing knowledge about medicine and cancer rehabilitation. If you have any questions, please pay attention and leave a message. Cancer treatment is divided into several parts.
1. Preoperative examination, general telephone fee 1-20000.
2. Surgery, social security or deduction from the new rural cooperative will cost 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.
3. Postoperative radiotherapy is not too expensive.
4. Targeted drugs and biological agents
The latest medical insurance can be reimbursed, but there are fewer kinds of drugs.
If the original drug is used, the average annual cost is about 200 thousand, and the cycle is generally 1-3 years, so it will not be reimbursed.
5. The postoperative recovery depends on the family situation.
Well controlled, it is no problem to live for twenty or thirty years.
Last July, I was diagnosed with advanced colon cancer with lymphatic metastasis. There is no indication for surgery, and the plan given by the doctor is chemotherapy or targeted treatment first. Consider surgery after the tumor shrinks. The medical plan says that the whole body should be treated first, and then the local treatment.
Before the diagnosis, appendicitis abscess received long-term treatment. Spent tens of thousands of dollars, this doesn't count.
Current expense list:
Puncture biopsy and other testing expenses, including MdT expert consultation.
Approximately 10000
Puncture drainage and PiCC infusion tube device
About 5000
Six courses of chemotherapy
15000
Beva was added in this period, and the inflammation became worse. I have been in hospital for a month, and I think I need it.
About 5000
In addition, the outpatient department increases some daily miscellaneous expenses.
Just 5000.
Besides, I am in Longquan, Zhejiang. At first, I went to Hangzhou for treatment, travel expenses, accommodation and catering, and my family went to accompany me. This will cost more than 10 thousand.
So far, the cost spent on cancer medical treatment will not exceed 50 thousand at most. After medical insurance. Plus the living expenses should be less than 60 thousand. In addition, I saw someone say that outpatient chemotherapy is self-funded, so we must pay attention to this. We must see the outpatient medical records of special diseases. I once paid 66 yuan for PICC catheter film maintenance at my own expense. It only costs a few dollars to do this, and the puncture wound is inflamed and changed. It takes 33 days to do this, which can save a lot of money.
I think many people calculate their expenses according to the data before medical insurance. Some of them post on the Internet to attract traffic, others reward, and the calculation cost is high [covering your face] [covering your face]. These are not for reference.
I'm in a similar situation myself. According to the doctor's advice, I should need several stages of chemotherapy plus bevacizumab before making an evaluation. Now one-stage chemotherapy plus bevacizumab, once a day, 2000-3000, 2/kloc-0.
There is still genetic testing +Pet-CT to be spent later, and about 20,000 yuan will be prepared.
Anti-cancer is a protracted war. On the one hand, cut off expenses, on the other hand, cut off sources of income. This is a big problem for many people. Because I am still in treatment, the cost can only be used as a reference.
According to the data analysis of patient expenses. The highest expenditures are blood diseases, blood cancers and so on. I heard that this is terrible.
Start with 1 million.
Most of them cost 500,000-300,000 yuan from treatment to node treatment. Average100000 or so. Therefore, the online saying that people and money are empty and ruined will also have a negative impact on many patients. Some even give up treatment. If you are not an oncologist or a patient's family, please don't talk about the patient himself. Although it is easier to get high praise by taking money to travel than by leaving it to your family. But this is a disaster! ! It will mislead some patients and their families. Even if one of them is influenced by you, you should go to hell. This is a kind of life! ! ! !
Some spend a lot of money mainly by importing a large number of drugs at their own expense. This should be chosen according to your own conditions. Cancer treatment The general doctor will make a plan according to your financial situation. Many people continue to take drugs after treatment, which can be high or low. For example, some people beat other immortals every week to improve the auxiliary immunity, and it is 800 per week. The domestic week is 160. This gap is very large.
If you don't treat it later, it depends on the situation. One of my best patients. At the time of diagnosis, the doctor had suggested giving up, and several hospitals were the same. Later, I went to Shanghai Cancer Hospital for surgery. It's been more than two years now, and I have already gone to work. At the last review, all indicators were normal. At present, she is using the medicine prescribed by Suzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine for later maintenance. The annual cost is about 8000.
For those who choose Chinese medicine, my suggestion is that scientific and standardized treatment methods must be adopted in treatment, examination, operation, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Traditional Chinese medicine can be considered for auxiliary maintenance and conditioning after treatment. Because recurrence and metastasis are largely caused by the destruction of immunity and physical decline. Chinese medicine can play a certain role in this respect. Don't trust unlicensed doctors on the Internet. Choose a regular Chinese medicine hospital. First, the cost is standardized, and second, such hospitals have rich clinical experience after all.
How much does it cost to cure cancer? This question is too general. Different people, different diseases, very different. But according to big data, the conventional treatment is10-200,000. The follow-up protracted war will also cost a lot.
Do you think 2 million, 20 million is enough? Some patients have money to spend because they have no medicine. No matter how much money you have, you should also prevent excessive medical treatment.
I hope my answer is useful to you.
The cure rate of cancer in general Chinese medicine will not exceed 50 thousand, but we must believe this. Cancer is a special disease, and not all Chinese medicine practitioners are sure to cure it. It is great to have rich clinical experience in cancer, otherwise it will be painless and eventually spread uncontrollably, with disastrous consequences.
The length of a person's life is determined by God. It doesn't mean that how much money you have must die. God will not let you go, even beggars can't die. God wants you to go, even with the backing of Jinshan Yinshan, you won't survive tomorrow. For everyone, especially patients, we should live an optimistic life every day, so that we will not be wronged.
If you have cancer, you should be optimistic first, then you should be rich, and finally you should not blindly treat it, that is, you should be in a hurry to see a doctor. Generally, the cure rate of early cancer is quite high, and the survival time of late cancer is estimated to be very small, so no matter how much money is spent later, many patients with late cancer will be thrown into the water. I mean, without treatment, with targeted treatment, the life cycle may be longer. There are two in my family. My father's late gastric cancer complicated with interstitial pneumonia was found 19 days, and the total cost was about 400 thousand. Excluding medical insurance, it is estimated to be hundreds of thousands, but it is too much for a family whose income depends entirely on retirement wages, but you have to show it to them.
Cancer is the money for chemotherapy first, so it takes a long time to take medicine after chemotherapy. Chemotherapy costs tens of thousands of dollars, and I don't know how long I can live with drugs later. Anyway, if I get sick, I will be in trouble. If it can't be cured, I don't want to say, mainly because there are economic sources and money to cure it.
Liver cancer, it should not exceed 2 million! If it is early liver cancer surgery, the cost is about 654.38+ 10,000! Check regularly after operation, only a few thousand yuan at a time! If the early cost of liver cancer will not exceed 300 thousand. If it is advanced liver cancer, it can only be treated by transcatheter arterial chemoembolization or ablation. If it is hepatocellular carcinoma, targeted drugs can also be used. If the economic conditions are better, immunotherapy can be combined. The annual cost is about 400,000 yuan, but these are all within the scope of medical insurance reimbursement, especially PD- 1 has been included in the scope of medical insurance reimbursement in 202 1-03-0 1. In addition, other treatment methods can be applied, such as internal radiotherapy, perfusion chemotherapy, cryotherapy and alcohol therapy. These are the treatment methods that treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and the long-term curative effect is not ideal, which can only achieve the purpose of improving the quality of life of patients and prolonging the survival time as much as possible. If targeted drugs combined with immunotherapy are effective, it is possible to survive with tumors for a long time, and the cost for five years will not exceed 654.38+00000.
