How much debt would you put your family in for Cancer treatment ?

there is no guarranty that the cancer can be removed or cured and you may die anyway . . insurance will only pay 75% after a 5000.00 deductible for prescriptions and care. What would you do ?

    most people would pay anything. You can't buy a new car for $5000, so isn't a person worth more than that? not saying it won't be tough but hopsitals can set up payment plans and refer pts for financial councelling. you can ask businesses for donations and do a theme basket benefit to cover the $5000. might get hall donated too. recently had one for friend w cancer and they raised over $30,000. also for $100 you can have tickets printed for a monthly 50/50 split raffle ticket based on the daily lottery numbers. for $5/ticket,sell all 1000 tickets and you've got your deductible covered.

    So there are things that can be done and I at least believe a life is worth more than $5000.

    having said that, if I KNEW I was terminal and had a very limited time to live, I think I'd forgo the treatment and just enjoy what time I had left. If you have less than a year, why spend that time suffering through treatment.

    Look at it from the families' perspective - what would they give up to try to help the person with cancer?

    I would've given up everything I own if it would have helped my mother.
