For this one, my oncologist just gave in. They're essentially the same pill. And to fight it would have delayed my treatment. PS, it costs 20K a month! My copay would have been 2K a month but NYU Langone has a prescription assistance fund that picks it up, thank God.

I've had the drug company deny a first line drug my doctors prescribed because it's their policy to approve it only when the first one has failed. And one of these was a cancer drug.

And my healthcare shouldn't be a profitable enterprise!

So so impressed that you did the audio version yourself. It takes me forever to record a 3 minute version of an essay.

Thank you so much. Coming from you, that means a lot! I also saw so many similarities when I read "Ma Speaks Up." Which I loved!
