One would think that since Tykerb is oral it would also cost less
to administer verses the other chemo's which require infusions, staff and
nurseing attendance..hospital or cancer center operation costs...how
does the insurance carriers get away this and justify this rational?
No one in our country should have to be charged that sum of money monthly
to have their meds....we spend billions out of the states...Charity begins
at home..here in the good USA....I can't understand why the rich and famous
are not aware that many people right here need help!
