$4,500.00 PILL A MONTH KEN MIGHT BE ALIVE
Why does it seem that you feel you can make it and then your thrown right back into the pain, the heartache, the emptiness....of your child gone...
Everyday, Every time I watch TV, they are always advertising Cancer Treatment Centers...and they show these wonderful looking people riding off in their golf cart...or walking hand and hand with each other....as if it is the best time of their life.
Stupid ads I think...there is not real cure for all cancers...even when Ken was sick going on the internet, doing research...it's your not dying of cancer, your living with it like a chronic disease.....WHAT a STUPID...way to put something that is probably going to get you in the end...No matter how long you fight, no matter how much meds they give you, no matter the hope....it is generally the cancer that gets you.
Sometimes it is so difficult of seeing these ads daily...thinking where was the cure for my son, my neighbors who were gone her less then 3 months after finding the cancer, he after 1 year....Why do they make such light of that there is a cure...
I don't care what some think...people need to know the truth...they know your fighting for your life....and your lucky if your body can fight the disease for a longer period....
My son lived 2 years and 23 days after we found out about the cancer...and he was fighting it everyday of his life.....
Ads are fine, people need to know where one could/can go for the best treatment...but ads that make cancer look so easy...by their ad...I say help yes but don't make it looks like an easy road to travel.....It isn't...
So where is the cure...where is the hope...where was the...your going to be in remission....well it didn't happen in my son's lifetime....but maybe one day there will be...but only of someone is not making a lot of money off it..
In the very beginning that I had forgotten about until about a month month ago, I remember that there was a pill that could help someone survive certain cancers.
Here is the catch...$4500.00 per month for one pill...Who has that kiind of money...and I guess that is why we never talked about it again....
Medicines I take cost about $900.00 per month...yet it was a generic drug which ran not much over $50..00 a month....just as their patent was about to run out, they pulled it off the market,,,,took the generic off the market, said they changed some of the ingredients therefore, they will now have it tied up at the higher price for the next ten years....therefore, when one is sick, you have to try to find something your can afford.
I wonder, if my son or our family could have afforded that $4,500.00 per month for that one pill...would I still have my son alive.....Who rules...The cost of care is more than most of us can't afford....so we do the best we can...we end up losing our loved ones....when can that ever change
I wonder why cancer patients can't get the medicine to keep them alive...why is the cost have to be so high.....
