Dolphin; Yes, it is interesting and of course really good news that its so much cheaper now. I emailed dr Enlanders assistant before I had seen your message in which you wrote that the heprassin shots were 50 dollar each, and asked her if I could estimate treatment costs to 200-400 a month and she replied that that estimate was exagerated. The standard protocol is 190 dollar a month.. All the prices you wrote down is the same except for the heprassin. If the patient needs valcyte or something like that it would be 2000 dollars a month but as I understood it this is more of a last resort..and is something that I hope I wont need and would give a lot of thought before trying..
That is interesting that so many people seem to stop treatment after 1-2 months.. Because I suppose that doctors inform their patients before they start treatment that it a lot of times, for most patients?, takes longer than that to get effects from it.. Some people might start treatments that they cant really afford hoping that they will be one of those patients that will get effects from it immidiately and then when they dont get that they feel they cant take the risk of putting more money in to something that might not work.. I dont know..
