Cost of radioimmunotherapy, cont'd

Betsy has the wonderful knack of linking medical data to her passionate, personal experience with advanced lymphoma. Beautifully, she places the cost of radioimmunotherapy (RIT) in the context of survival, actually robust health after having received RIT.

In my earlier, August 22 blog entry, I was more practical comparing the cost of RIT to standard chemotherapy. For those blog readers who did not see that entry, I respectfully suggest they read it.

Cost is, indubitably, a valid issue of concern. However, cost determination becomes clouded for there is no way to place a "price tag" on survival, on good health, on extra years with loved ones.
