9. Well, then, I guess we're rich

Our income seems to be just a bit over the numbers these organizations will help at.
All I'll have to pay for will be the meds to get me through my three remaining chemos and the blood thinner I'll have to use as long as I have the port; I'll have to keep doing the Herceptin for a full year.
Now I think I can switch to a pill, rather than the Lovenox injection once I have surgery this August and that will cut down the cost a lot. Otherwise, I might just end up getting past the donut hole.

Again, I'm not really complaining. I'm extremely happy that I hit 65 and that we got a Plan F supplemental at the right time. Other than meds, I've paid exactly $10 out-of-pocket for medical expenses.
