I got to sit in on a cancer talk last year.... It seems that promising drugs tested recently (ones that shrink tumors) were not shown to benefit patients. People just died with smaller tumors.

But, that extra time that we are having with our loved ones is worth is worth the terrible expense and whatever side effects might come along with the new meds.

It is costing 20,000.00 every three weeks just to keep my husband alive and a relative decent life. We have to pay 700 of that out of pocket. Not easy on an income of less than 25,000 a year.
