Any way we can pressure Merck to lower the extremely expensive price of Herceptin? It would save a lot of lives.

Just passing along info I read on another board regarding Genentech's (maker of Herceptin) financial assistance program: http://bclist.petebevin.com/list/2005-06/0648.html.

The best way to lower the cost of Herceptin might be to do what we can to help doctors prescribe it to as many HER2+++'s as possible as soon as possible.
