The Cause

What Does It Cost To Have One Of These Diseases? Leukemia impacts every area of a patient’s life and the lives of their families. Having leukemia means painful treatments and emotional challenges for the patient and their family. While a family is dealing with all of these issues, they are also dealing with the financial costs. The following is a list of expenses associated with diagnosis and treatment during the first week only compiled by a patient’s family.

Average one night stay at Children’s Hospital $990 - $1,350
Surgery to put in Port-A-Cath $1,560
(A Port-A-Cath is a device inserted under the skin to make the administration of chemotherapy easier)
Initial Diagnoses stay for 6 days and 6 nights $5,940.00
Special Nursing $120.00
Surgery Services $1,873.80
