I think most doctors will tell you that will is critical to surviving cancer, and your entire family is blessed your wife has it...
That being said, there's no substitute for some really powerfull and expensive drugs, that in this country the worthy are able to get.
I'm personally more than aware of the business considerations...I've done much homework on the Pharma industry as a whole.
But again, the point really is about how we're dealing with the problem as a whole...and in this context there are some very troubling signs.
It's not that the care in the USA is terrible, it's that we think it's much better than it may really be.
