Re: Cost of cancer drugs

Aloha Jack,
I feel it would be very difficult, considering the various forms of PCa, from man to man, case to case, to create a meaningful calculation of "cost of drug to stay alive". I suspect that as a doctor gains experience with a particular disease, only that doc could give an estimate of survival, and even then "dice roll" ...
I suspect that only when I'm in a position of being told "you are going to die soon" would I be able to worry about this type of data?
In the long run, I would hope to so engaged in living life to the best I could, that I would not worry about how much do I need to spend to stay alive a few more days, weeks, months, etc.
I feel that as each of us goes through the various & many stages of PCa, our attention & interest follow along from beginning to The End.
So, I'm not there yet,
Joe
