What is the economic cost for leukemia?

If you mean the cost for treatment, depending on the treatment the doctor recommends. My husband had chemo and radiation for brain cancer. I don't know how much the chemo was, but I think the radiation was like $2,000 per session, and he had 30 sessions. Plus all the days in the hospital. It is a very expensive process, but there are many programs that can help with cost. Hope this helps.
