Malecare has had excellent experience with patient advocacy articles written by Bloomberg News reporters Please consider contributing your thoughts to Fiona Rutherford’s story, described below Be sure to mention that you are a member of this Malecare online support community !!!

“We're working on a story about how an increasing number of cancer drugs are being approved at higher price points that later turn out not to improve survival of patients once the drugmakers complete pivotal studies.

We've gathered some examples of such medicines -- including the new KRAS drugs, some older targeted therapies, and the multiple myeloma treatment Ninlaro. Other treatments we are particularly interested in include cabozantinib, afinitor, and Trodelvy. We're hoping to speak to some patients who have first-hand experience with an expensive cancer treatment that turned out to be disappointing.

Is there someone in your network of patients who has been through that kind of ordeal and might be willing to chat with us about it?

Many thanks, Fiona
