I am a family member of a cancer patient, and an uncle born after 61 who accompanied his wife to fight cancer. Your question happened to be something I was thinking about this afternoon, and I made a feasible plan, and I shared this data with my group of patients, which caused a general buzz. It is really not easy to fight cancer! Regardless of medical technology and efficacy, a cancer patient really needs to be cured, not relapse for a long time, or live with a tumor for decades, which will be an astronomical figure for our ordinary families.
Xiao Cao, a patient in our family, belongs to the unlucky one. Although it was clinical stage 1 before operation, it recurred and metastasized 8 months after operation. In the 21 months of anti-cancer, after enjoying all kinds of reimbursement, we have paid 311 thousand at our own expense before we can get better and control stability.
Our family is doing the treatment of immune cell reinfusion NKT combined with oral targeted drugs, hoping to achieve long-term survival with tumor. The annual cost of this scheme is about 211,111 yuan. I heard that there is no drug resistance in cell transfusion, but the drug resistance of targeted drugs will appear in about one year. Let's put aside the drug resistance and whether this scheme is effective for our family for a long time. Let's just talk about the economic account. How much will it cost? Our little Cao is 53 years old. Through hard work and active treatment, if he can live to 81 years old, it will cost 5.4 million yuan, and other emergencies have not been taken into account. But as a husband, I must go all out to sell my car first and then sell it when necessary, but it is also a blessing and a blessing that cancer can make you spend money, but money is definitely not everything. A healthy and happy life is the first, and everything else is floating clouds.
I will share the real case of our family and the plan to be implemented with you and everyone, hoping for some reference and help.
I am hematologic cancer, that is, leukemia. After two years of treatment, the total cost was about 1.6 million yuan, of which 311,111 yuan was reimbursed by medical insurance, and about 1.3 million yuan was paid at my own expense, which was basically cured. Some patients were cured at a cost of only several hundred thousand yuan, and some died at a cost of more than four million yuan. How much it costs, whether you live or die depends on luck, and doctors can't tell. Treating cancer is like stock trading, with seven losses, two draws and one profit. It is also like gambling, that is, gambling is also gambling. Those who have money can gamble big, and those who have no money can gamble small. In short, they are all gambling. Of course, it's gambling. Of course, it's losing more and winning less. It has nothing to do with 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 would bet two million dollars on it, and then I would leave, and I wouldn't play any more. Although the world is good, I won't come in my next life. I am willing to gamble and lose. If I lose everything, I have to accept my fate. I am not allowed to get into trouble with a doctor. Be grateful if you win the bet, and do more good deeds for the rest of your life. Now that I have basically recovered, I won the bet, so I want to teach in remote mountainous areas and give back to the grace of social reconstruction. Classification of main treatment expenses of cancer
Operation
The surgical treatment expenses of common cancers (such as gastric cancer and liver cancer), including anesthesia expenses, are generally around 1,111 yuan, but do not include the use of instruments and equipment such as staplers. The cost of surgical treatment for simple breast cancer and thyroid cancer is generally less than 1 million yuan.
If any abnormality is found during the operation, if it is necessary to increase the amount of blood transfusion or other drugs, the cost will increase. Due to the different grades of hospitals, the fees may fluctuate.
if there are no special circumstances, you can leave the hospital within 15 days after operation. The cost of rehabilitation after surgery 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 21,111 yuan (except in special circumstances), and the factor of rising prices is not considered here.
chemotherapy
the charge for chemotherapy drugs is more complicated. First of all, charge according to the number of times of use. 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 3,111,5111 yuan at a time and takes 4-6 courses of treatment.
Radiotherapy
Because the equipment for radiotherapy is expensive, and the medical staff who perform radiotherapy also have radioactive damage, there should be additional subsidies for medical staff, so the price of radiotherapy is also high.
In addition, the side effects in radiotherapy also need targeted treatment, so the additional cost of radiotherapy is also high.
The cost of radiotherapy in hospitals of different levels in different regions is also different. Generally, a third-class hospital is about 2,111-3,111 yuan/course, and it takes several courses to more than ten courses according to the condition and the patient's physique and sensitivity.
biological immunotherapy
the cost of biological immunotherapy is relatively low, and 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 is 1.8-21 thousand yuan/course, and there is no additional auxiliary treatment fee. Rational selection of drugs and treatment schemes
If the patient's condition permits in the early stage of cancer, one of them can be selected for 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, so it is necessary to carry out more complicated treatment schemes combining various treatment methods. In order to save the relative cost, it is necessary to make some efforts in selecting drugs and treatment schemes.
First of all, if the patient's anxiety is aggravated by choosing a hospital with poor skills, it will also affect the progress of the disease and postoperative rehabilitation, so it is impossible to reduce the operation cost on the basis of the choice made.
then, we can only adjust the choice of drugs. Many patients think that imported drugs are more effective than domestic drugs, and they would rather spend more money than use good drugs, which is also carried out when economic conditions permit. In fact, at present, there is not much difference between domestic anticancer drugs and imported drugs in efficacy, and of course, the side effects are almost the same, but the prices of the two are quite different, which is also one aspect for foreign drug dealers to make money by using Chinese 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.
During surgery and radiotherapy and chemotherapy, choosing biological immunotherapy is another magic weapon to reduce expenses. As we all know, rehabilitation is needed after operation; The side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy are great, and a series of targeted treatments are needed for their side effects. 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, and it is easy to cause metastasis and recurrence.
biotherapy is an important supplement to cancer cells that cannot be cleared by surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and it has obvious killing effect on tumor stem cells and other non-proliferative tumor cells. He can remove tiny residual lesions that surgery can't remove; Can kill dormant tumor cells that chemotherapy drugs can't kill. Therefore, in the comprehensive treatment scheme of tumor, biological immunotherapy has become a very key measure to improve the cure rate of tumor. Biological immunotherapy not only has no side effects, but also can reduce the side effects to the greatest extent when used in combination with the three major treatment methods, so that the therapeutic effect can reach the best state.
In addition, biotherapy has been included in medical insurance, and a certain proportion of expenses can be reimbursed, which saves a large part of expenses for cancer patients. It is a doctor's sacred duty to help cancer patients treat their diseases. It is every doctor's responsibility to help patients spend their money on the cutting edge, consider cancer treatment from an economic perspective for a long time, and improve the efficiency of treatment expenses as much as possible. I'm Tan Taofeng, director of the Nutrition Department, and I'm dedicated to sharing knowledge about medicine and cancer rehabilitation.

Cancer treatment is divided into several parts
1. Preoperative examination, the general telephone bill is 1-21 thousand.
2. surgery, social security or new rural cooperative medical system deduction, that is, 21,111 to 31,111 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 cost is about 211,111 yuan a year, and the cycle is generally 1-3 years, so it will not be reimbursed.
5. postoperative recovery depends on family conditions.
well controlled, no problem living for 21 or 21 years
I was diagnosed with advanced colon cancer with lymphatic metastasis in July last year. 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, when appendicitis abscess was treated for a long time. Spent tens of thousands of dollars, this is not counted.
List of current expenses:
Needle biopsy and other testing expenses, including MdT consultation with special experts.
about 11111
Puncture drainage, PiCC infusion tube device
about 5111
Six courses of chemotherapy
15111
Beva was added in this period, and the inflammation was more severe. I have been in the hospital for several months, so I should need about
5,111 yuan.
Plus some daily miscellaneous expenses for outpatient service.
Let's count it as 5,111 yuan.
In addition, I was in Longquan, Zhejiang Province. At first, I went to Hangzhou for treatment, travel expenses, accommodation and catering, and my family went to accompany me. This should cost more than 11,111 yuan.
Up to now, the amount spent on cancer medical treatment will not exceed 51,111. After medical insurance. Plus living expenses should be less than 61111. In addition, I saw that some people said that outpatient chemotherapy was at their own expense, so we must pay attention to this. We must go to the outpatient medical record of special diseases. I used to pay 66 yuan for PICC catheter film maintenance at my own expense. It only takes a few dollars to do this, and the puncture wound is inflamed and the dressing is changed. It takes 33 days to do this, which can save a lot of money.
I think many people calculate the expenses based on the data before medical insurance. Some of them post online to attract traffic, while others reward them and calculate the expenses as high [covering their faces] [covering their faces]. These are not for reference.
My own situation is almost the same at present. According to the doctor's advice, I should need several stages of chemotherapy plus bevacizumab, and then make an evaluation. Now one-stage chemotherapy plus bevacizumab, 2111-3111, once every 21 days.
there is genetic testing +Pet-CT, which needs to be prepared for about 21 thousand.
Anti-cancer is a protracted war. On the one hand, expenses are cut off, and on the other hand, income sources are cut off, which 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 patients' expenses. The highest expenditures are blood diseases, hematologic cancer and the like. This is terrible. I heard that
started at a million dollars.
most of them cost 51,111-311,111 yuan from treatment to node treatment. About 111 thousand is the average. Therefore, the online saying that people and money are empty and lose everything 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 shut up about the patient himself. Although it is easier to get high praise for saying that it is better to take money to travel than to leave money to your family. But it's a disaster! ! It will mislead some patients and their families. Even if one of them is affected by you, you should go to hell. It's a life! ! ! !
some people 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 general doctors will make a plan according to your financial situation. Many of them continue to take drugs after treatment, which can be high or low. For example, some people play Sunda Fairy every week to improve the auxiliary immunity, and it is 811 per week. And play domestic 161 a week. This gap is very large.
For the advanced stage, don't treat it. It also 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. Now more than two years, I have gone to work. At the last review, all indicators were normal. At present, she is using the medicine prescribed by Suzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital for post-maintenance of traditional Chinese medicine. The annual cost is about 8111.
for those who choose traditional Chinese medicine, my suggestion is that treatment, examination, operation, radiotherapy and chemotherapy must adopt scientific and standardized treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine can be considered to assist maintenance and conditioning after knot therapy. Because recurrence and metastasis are largely caused by the destruction of the body's immunity and the decline of physical fitness. Chinese medicine can play a certain role in this respect. Never believe in unlicensed traveling 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.
The question of how much cancer can be cured is too general. Different people and different diseases vary greatly. But according to big data, treat 11111-211111 routinely. The follow-up protracted war will also cost a lot.
do you think 2 million or 21 million is enough? Some patients have money to spend because there is no medicine to match. If you have more money, you should also prevent excessive medical treatment.
I hope my answer is useful to you.
Generally, the cure rate of Chinese medicine for cancer will not exceed 51,111, but to 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 not hurt or itch, and eventually it will spread without control, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
The length of a person's life is all decided by God, not to say that you don't have to die with how much money you have. God won't let you go, even a beggar can't die. God wants you to go, even with the backing of Jinshan Yinshan, you won't survive tomorrow. For everyone, especially patients, live an optimistic life every day so that they will not be wronged.
If you have cancer, you should be optimistic first, then you should have money, and finally you should not treat it blindly, that is, you should go to the doctor in a hurry. 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 in the late stage, many patients with advanced cancer will be thrown into the water in the end. I mean, don't treat it blindly, with money and targeted treatment, the life cycle may be longer. My father's late-stage gastric cancer complicated with interstitial pneumonia was found to be 19 days away, and the total cost was about 411,111. After deducting medical insurance, it was estimated to be more than 111,111, but it was too much for a family whose income depended on retirement salary, but you had to show it to them.
Cancer is first and foremost the money for chemotherapy. After chemotherapy is closed, it will take medicine for a long time. Chemotherapy costs tens of thousands of yuan, so I don't know how long I can live after taking drugs later. Anyway, if I get sick, I will be in trouble. If I can't cure it, I don't want to say that I mainly need financial resources and money to cure it.
for liver cancer, it should not exceed 2 million! If it is early liver cancer surgery, it will cost about 1 million! Check regularly after operation, only a few thousand yuan at a time! If the early cost of liver cancer will not exceed 311 thousand. If it is the advanced stage of liver cancer, it is generally impossible to treat it surgically.
