>>>dr. jay harness: there are multiple costswhen it comes to breast cancer. a number one cost is an emotional cost. itis the trauma of the diagnosis, the trauma to you and members of your family that hasa cost. there is the cost of breast cancer when it come to lost days of work or havingto hire other people that help with care at home. then there are the obvious costs ofbreast cancer depending on what kind of insurance
san antonio breast cancer symposium, coverage that you have and what is the co-payslike, and what is the stage of the breast cancer is in the first place. the cynic would say mastectomy without reconstructionis a low cost option. yes sure is, but it has a high cost when it comes to the emotionalside. so typically the cost for breast cancer
involve the surgery, they involve then theother adjunctive treatments, those other adjunctive therapies or treatments involve are oftenanti-hormonal therapy, perhaps chemotherapy, perhaps radiation therapy. there is some sortof circumstances that i have seen where the patients have had to use assistance from theirown state governments to cover the co-pays because their co-pays are so high for thepolicy that they have compared to what they are living, they making etc, etc. fortunately,there are financial advisors around. in most hospital setting are social workers that canhelp work our way through this. one of the other questions that comes up is,“wait a minute, may be we can lower overall healthcare costs and particularly the costsof breast cancer treatment if we use complementary
or alternative forms of treatment". thoseof us who are in the field full-time, most of us including myself do not have objectionsto things that are complementary. in another words, things like acupuncture as an example;things like yoga as an example. obviously, exercise and things related to that. clearly,if somebody is diagnosed with depression, they need to have that treated either by routineregular medications or some of the over-the-counter medications that can work, such st. john’swort, etc. so, overall i do not think that complementaryand alternative approaches of breast cancer are going to lower overall costs. i thinkthat, yes we have moved down the road and healthcare delivery in the united states.there is going to be a greater tendency that
package things together to bundle things intomore of a cohesive dollar amount coming to doctors and hospitals, things like that ithink are going to happen. if you find yourself in a particular financialbuying grade now, please consult with the hospital that you are working with, see whatfinancial advisors may be available? please also if you are considering any kind of complementarytherapies as you discussed this with the members of your multidisciplinary team. hi, i am dr. jay harness and i want to sharewith you an important information that i believe that every newly diagnosed patient with breastcancer needs to know. susan denver: “i am a breast cancer survivor.â€
