13. I had one heart attack.
Sat Feb 21, 2026, 11:17 PM
Saturday

Two cath procedures (not counting the two sheath removals because they had to go back in after the first removal…that hurts…a lot…do NOT recommend…lol.) Had some internal bleeding stuff going on and they couldn’t get my blood count up for a week and I had problems getting in and out of bed from the pain of the two sheath removals. But that’s not what I was getting at…

My point: One heart attack plus 8 days in the hospital, half of that in the ICU, was $349,000 before insurance. (Thank GAWD I have insurance!)

I don’t know anything about the cost of years worth of cancer treatments. But i bet it’s a lot more than that.
