Dick, the shots are very expensive. They cost my insurance about $11,000 per week when done at my local clinic and $18,000 when given at the hospital that is 1 1/2 hours away.

I am considered 100 percent disabled by the VA because of Vietnam/agent orange/stem cell transplant/leukemia. I am taking all of my treatments outside of the VA system. If I were you I would try to get these shots outside of their system if possible because of the inconvenience for you.
