It's wonderful news for patients and their families who all suffer when a person becomes ill with Leukemia. The sad part is that the general public think they are going to get miracle drugs like these without having to actually pay for them. People scream about high drug prices, but they must realize that drug companies must do R &D, trials, and then if approved, all of the costs associated with the manufacturing/distribution of the product. Lump all the R & D and trials that ultimately fail into the cost of the new successful drug as well. That cost must
be spread out across the board in order to feed the new R & D and trials that the companies are always doing looking for the next billion+ club for a new drug.
Agree. I would just like other countries to share in the cost of developement by paying equal purchase price.
When I was having my chemo I paid $25 a pill to keep my food down. I would have paid double. Zoefran I think it was. Spelling is not even close.
