My husband had a biopsy done on his chest as an out patient on 12/17/2004 and the cost was 30,000.00. He hasn't started treatment that start's on the 19th of January. But if you add in the cost of all the CT scan's, Xrays and office visit's since November the total cost is around 60,000.00 so far and treatment has started yet. I hope this help's.
