Hi! It has been about a year and a half since my surgery, and I can happily report that I feel great! I really don’t have any cancer related issues, and believe me, I know how lucky I am. I’ve been very impressed by Dr. Chan, and the care I’ve received from U of I hospitals and clinics.
My insurance covered all of the costs for the nanoknife and gastrojejunostomy. I didn’t ever see a bill, but an explanation of benefits indicated it to be around $120k, but you should definitely verify that for yourself. I have blue cross/blue shield.
I have scans and bloodwork every 3 months. The scans continue to look good, and my CA 19-9 has been holding steady around 17.
Best of luck to you!! If you have any questions I can answer, don’t hesitate to ask!
