I was on the cljnical side of a drug called Xofigo. For prostate cancer. It gave an extra 4 months of life on the average. 6 infusions over 6 months. About $120,000 for the full treatment.

People who had Medicare only would have to come up with 20% of the cost. Or $12,000. The majority of patients i injected told me that while they were living longer they were too tired to do anything.

That is why i would be curious to know about the cost and quality of life of this new drug.
