Did you NOT read this? Where do you come up with your numbers?
The new medicine, which belongs to a new generation of biological drugs, yielded extraordinary results to the point that the FDA approved it for “compassionate use” (the use of an investigational drug outside a clinical trial by patients with life-threatening conditions) and it will be given for free to terminally ill patients. It is also be fast tracked for approval, which is expected by October.
As for all your Comments on Carter. Shame on you. I am happy he is/ or anybody is cancer free. He has brought world focus to Habitat for Humanity, and as a citizen, has done more to help the poor and underprivileged than any president living today. Certainly more than Obama.
Ah remember when that rabbit , trained by bunnymaster Ben Laudin, attacked Jimmah in tha boat and infected him with that killa virus that ate what was left of Jimmah’s brain and eventually started eatin Jimmah too! So kind of the jews to rescue Jimmah and maybe he can save the Demacrat’s 2016 party.
Are you absolutely sure that it wasn’t Hamas that helped develop that cancer drug? I’ve heard ad nauseum about the many contributions to mankind that the muslims have made.
Don’t forget Carter’s ultimate compassion of freeing Iran from th Shah and introducing the glorious era of radical Islam!
Jimmy for President, Again!
He’s the only man that can beat Trump!
(Republican elite are hunkering down in closed-door meetings as I write this headline).
I agree, perhaps I am referring to his Post-Presidential activities.

Keytruda Just One of a New Class of Cancer Drugs to Restart the Immune System
“Keytruda will sell for roughly $12,500 per patient per month, making it the 6th most expensive drug on the market, according to the trade publication FiercePharma.”

“Merck said Keytruda (pembrolizumab) would cost $12,500 per patient per month, or $150,000 per year”
My dear friend was a nurse and had melanoma, she tried an experimental treatment, it kept cancer at bay until she went off the treatment (the side effects were altered mental thinking, blindness etc, terrible effects), soon after a brain tumor came back and she died within weeks. It may extend your life to get things in order, but it won’t be quality of life.
I can't speak to whether he is cancer free, but I would LOVE to think that this new immunotherapy is effective. There is some very interesting work going on with it. I have seen some televised news items on the work going on and some remarkable stories associated with it in clinical trials. It is not quackery, but very real progress by recognized names in cancer research.
Jimmy may be lying, maybe not but this line of research is holding out some real hope for cancer victims.
Cancer is a vile, equal opportunity killer that’s gotten all too many of us, regardless of politics. Carter has done some horrible political things, but has never stooped to the pure evil of Teddy Kennedy. I pray for his recovery because,but for good fortune, that’s where each of us may go. The thing to comment on here really ought to be this extraordinary medical advance.
I hope that they included something in the treatment to actually restore brain function...which has been dormant since at least the mid-1970s.
Not to worry! He still hates the Jews for some reason (maybe they are better peanut farmers and politicians than he is?-)
This medical discovery won’t matter to Carter, who has absolutely no class. He’ll continue demonizing Israel. It’s who he is, it’s in his DNA.
Israel Matzav?
The re-poster of anti-Trump crap, expert on absolutely nothing, and whose posts almost always gather ZERO replies?

And YES, the lockstep demographic that consistently votes for that which destroys BOTH Israel and the US.
Agreed...
