COBRA payments

Does anyone on this board have COBRA payments? I am trying to figure out the approximate monthly cost for myself in a few years.
Divorced, but spouse is paying for three years than I am on my own.
I am a cc survivor and a recent breast cancer survivor.
Scary and frustrating!

Is she on Oxilaplatin? The reason I ask is because I had high fevers that were caused by oxilaplatin being administered too quickly.
