    Depends on the manufacturing process. My wife took 52 infusions of ground up mouse spleens weekly in 2005 - 2006. That is how Herceptin was delivered to cancer patients back then. The trial showed that the recurrance of breast cancer was cut from 60% to 25% for people with her cancer status (2b) and genes. The cost to the manufacturer was quoted to us by the head doctor as $50,000, including the heart testing since the drug affected the heart in some of the patients, her heart recovered after five years.

    I'm happy to hear it! =)

    With my mother they missed a tumour and it ended
    badly. But I heard similar sums for the medicines if not more. Boy was
    that a long drawn out and painful road to the bitter end.
