Why does it all boil down to money?
We live in the most progressive nation in the world, the most knowledgeable, the most money....... We have huge cancer centers we give money to for research...Sarah Cannon, Susan B Komen...we do the walks, fundraisers, ...all this for research, correct?
Now, I take a chemo drug...right now I am on Avastin & Xoloda. The Xoloda is $150 a pill...I take 3 a day, which is $900.00. The reason its so high is because of the...RESEARCH? These cancer drugs are very expensive...all of them, and the people taking them are being charged are charged 2 arms & 2 legs & their firstborn. Now, you would think in this country of plenty, that people battling cancer would not have to worry about the money involved. Money causes stress.
