Dear Tom,
Thanks for your comment. I agree with you that each patient is unique and the best treatment should be tuned to each individual case. However, I doubt that this is possible at this moment as cancer becomes almost the number one or number two killer disease all over the world and there are so many patients with different cancers. When my mom started with Tarceva again, I witnessed this unbelievable effectiveness of this drug. I know that this industry really has made some significant contribution on cancer treatment and I appreciate that. Just the price of this drug is so high that it is really a burden for many people if the insurance can not cover it. This is particularly true when people at this stage needs to spend quite a lot in everything, including hiring someone to assist their daily life.
