I am very sorry to all of those who have this god awful disease but I have to say that this drug called thalidimide is a joke, my brother who is 50 has never reached remission (refractory myeloma) has been told to take thalidimide. Now help me out here... this drug costs 6500 for 28 days and if memory serves this is the bastard drug that caused birth defects in the late 50s and early 60s now here is the kicker, tell me that a pregnant woman would pay equivalent of 6500 bucks not to barf in the morning?? I doubt it ! What possess the drug companies to store this collection of deviant chemicals in the first place and dream up another use for them.Is this the best we can do? Our sick government probably created diseases like myloma and aids as chemical warefare! and they escaped into the population. Dam it I am pissed but I will say one thing.We on this spinning rock will be called to answer to what we have done. and God will shake his mighty head and nature will kick us off this planet and she will heal herself. The only hope the next evolving life has what we do not and that is COMPASSION for one another. God bless everyone of you
