Can anyone tell me precisely what Herceptin is made from?
Judging by its' cost, I'd say it is derived from magical Unicorn horns! Not to be silly or slight, but I read yesterday that a years dosage can cost $100,000.00 No wonder people go bankrupt from illnesses! My uncle would like to have his wife's breast cancer treated with this drug, but I don't think that they can afford it.
