My husband is currently on this regimen. He’s thru 4 of the 6. It is palliative only for him - intended to reduce the size of the tumors to prevent spontaneous fractures & thereby improve quality of life. The cost - covered by VA - is $50,000. per infusion. I did some research & found just the vial of the Radium is almost $30,000. The balance is the associated costs. I don’t know what folks without insurance coverage do.
