OK so here is my AN medical expense breakdown, hope it helps someone else gain info on the costs of treatment here in Ohio at the Mayfield Clinic, UC and Precision Radiotherapy in West Chester, Ohio. My two Dr. were Dr. Ron Warnick and Dr. John Breneman partnering for my treatment. Maybe I should make this cost breakdown it's own thread? Hope it's not too hard to follow!

So, all in all not cheap if you have a high deductible plan like me, but not stupid expensive like I've seen some quoted around here. Adding up all expenses = approx $32500 with no adjustments or reductions of any kind. I believe those without insurance could get treatment for much less than $32k from these doctors imo.
I'll be back after my May 23rd follow up MRI to give updates as well. God speed ya'll.
