Thank you for posting this link

I zoomed in on the link to the article:
*Is the high cost of CML care "worth it"?
Which finished with the conclusion: ***
*Our findings showed that, despite high costs, CML care provided good
value for money.
*
*
**Since 1991 when I was first diagnosed with CML a huge amount of money
has been spent keeping me alive, currently it is $148 Aust per day. ($1
Aust = $0.76 US).
Fortunately, we Australians, have a Universal Health Levy, which pays
the major portion of this, for which myself, wife, three children and
one Grandson are immensely grateful.
I would also like to acknowledge Roche Pharmaceuticals who provided me
with Interferon in a clinical trial. As well as Novartis who provided me
with both Glivec and Nilotinib in clinic trials.
While CML stopped me from participating in any energetic activities
including sports such as tennis, I soon adjusted and found other
activities which give me a pleasant life style. Most importantly, I was
able to continue working until 61 years old paying Income Tax and the
Medicare Health Levy which now helps to fund my medical expenses.
It is reassuring to read that people doing scientific research, also
agree that money spent keeping us CMLers living longer lives, is good
value for the whole community.
Regards
Robert
