Good Evening Belinda;
Yes, they are expensive. But I don't know if it's the meds so much or the research involved that drives the cost upward.
I believe the other posters here have presented you with some viable options to offset the cost. I recall reading somewhere that there was a program, perhaps with Velcade, that if you couldn't afford it and you get your Dr. to sign a form agreeing to not charge you for their services they would donate the meds. I know this sounds to good to be true but I do recall seeing this somewhere. I will check around. But you might be able to GOOGLE this info.
Take Care;
Kevin
