I think drug parity is one of the most difficult missions I have had to push. Cancer treatment is cancer treatment whether it is through the veins or in the mouth. What we need more of on this earth is a thing called common sense. LOL.
An article from The Journal of Clinical Investigation (J Clin Invest. 2017. doi:10.1172/JCI89756) written by M.Long et. al (2017) is titled "Ibrutinib treatment improves T-cell number and function in CLL patients". It is worth a read.
just discovered you and your blog and read your "CLL bio". Congrats on your pioneering and your anniversary as we all move toward a time when non-myelosuppressive approaches to CLL can become potentially potent enough (omnipotent?) to render the dragon impotent - enough to keep that MRD negative status even after ending Tx. Continued good health and positive results toward becoming MRD negative.
Thank you. Pharmacyclics made t-shirts with my painting on the back for their employees who participated in a cancer run. My painting is hanging in their lobby in California.
