Linda,

Most doctors check your insurance to see if it will cover the cost of the Ethyol shot before they offer or even mention it to patients. In my case, my insurance did cover it. The out of pocket cost 4 years ago for a daily shot was around $720. Take that times 35 treatments for me and most people fighting cancer don't have that laying around as pocket change.
