Medical costs are insane, even with insurance. My wife had a serious illness and our out of pocket expenses were around $300K over the course of 3-4 years. That doesn't count the lost wages from leaving her job. We could absorb it only because of the ridiculous compensation I've been lucky enough to get during the last few years.

May I ask if you have considered getting treatment in another country? To what degree did you anticipate these costs throughout those years?
