Stage 4 Metatasized to Bones- Anyone at 10 years?

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.

How much does radium 223 cost? Based on a 2023 study conducted in the Netherlands, radium 223 costs between $43,000 and $57,000 for a six-cycle treatment. Most health insurance plans cover a majority of the cost. Most government healthcare plans, such as Medicare, cover Xofigo for prostate cancer. 9K for 6
