If this wasn’t the first comment, I was gonna be mad.

The individuals that are getting screwed over, as he explained, are tenants. The system of landlording is designed to screw over tenants and enrich landlords. That’s why it’s hard to cry for you. Your system of exploitation stopped working so good, big whoop. You’ve still got way more assets and capital than any of the people you’re taking advantage of because the checks notes need a place to live.

Still promising. It's unlikely there will ever be a single miracle drug tbh. Cancer is a collection of diseases.

5. Something reserved for rich people e.g. "Study found people with stress free lives live longer"

Oh OK that seems much more reasonable

Fair enough - seemed abrasive without the additional context. I take back what I said.

I do, I was just giving the list price. I am very fortunate and pay $15/month out of pocket.

I'm waiting for I am Legend now

I started crying. My dad died 31 years ago so I keep up with this stuff. This is such great news moving forward, I hope for a day no one has to lose anyone to at least cancer…

How are we seeing drug resistance in cancer?

I saw I am legend yesterday, just saying

Yeah, I had pleural effusion about two years ago. It went away after stopping and then resuming at a lower dose. Absolutely sucked, especially with the pandemic in full swing (not a good time to have your lungs compromised). Thankfully, I'm in the clear for now.

Do you not have insurance? My copay for Sprycel was 3k a bottle. But there was manufacturers assistance that brought it down to nothing.

I was diagnosed 2 years ago with CML at age 28. Every day when I take my tasigna I try to appreciate how much of a miracle TKIs are. I'm alive partly because of your father. ❤️

they're also always posted here and not r/science

Not invalidating whatever you said. Enhancing the body’s ability to defend itself against cancer cells is a great way to fight it.

Complete remission without hematopoietic recovery (CRi) means we don’t see leukemia in the bone marrow (<5% blasts) but their blood counts (white blood cells, platelets) are not back to normal due to the chemo side effects. The patient essentially no longer has leukemia so we call it a win. It does not necessarily mean that patients will have to have a bone marrow (stem cell) transplant in order to be “cured.” That is driven by a whole host of other factors not surprisingly is largely risk vs. benefit. Stem cell transplantation is very costly and toxic and many patients can not even find a match.

MLFS essentially means there’s no leukemia in the bone marrow but something still isn’t quite normal in the blood or marrow depending on which definition you use. For example NCCN criteria says that CRi your platelets and white cells are abnormal but your hemoglobin should be normal. If your Hgb is too low then you would be MLFS.

I agree it’s not a miracle drug by any means, but patients who are getting this most likely don’t have any other options so for them even a small percentage of success at prolonging their lives even a few 7 months is worth it. A 53% response rate is VERY good for adult AML - we still don’t really know how to “cure” it.

I hate click bait articles but this is unfortunately what is needed to get people (investors) excited in funding cancer and medical research

Thanks! Glad to hear you're doing well too! Watch out for that PE!

CML also here, since 2005. I relapsed on gleevec about 13 years ago, but I've been doing pretty well on Sprycel. Glad to hear you are doing well.

Laid off 18 percent of staff in the plant based egg side? The one we can buy now?
