I understand I should do research in stead of "assuming" things but for now it's okay. I live in the states, go for treatment every month, and take daily meds. I still work (69) and have what seems good health insurance. I take Abiraterone, the insurance company lists as $4700 which I pay $5.00 a month. I do enjoy my job and look forward to going to work every day. I just wonder how I will afford everything when I go on Medicare, of course I'm not sure how long I want or can continue to work. It's in the back of my mind it's cheaper to keep working. I have stage 4 prostate cancer and up until this point all of my treatment has been out patient. I don't understand how some people have to deal with the cancer and worry about paying the cost. Best to all.
