Years ago when I was going thru everything I had been keeping track. In 2009, it was an extremely difficult year for me! I do remember seeing a bill for over $200,000. I also received other bills showing charges totaling over $100,000. I used to joke I was the $1,000,000 woman, that was before my third OC diagnosis in 2009.
