Musella Foundation Brain Tumor Co-payment Assistance Program Hits the $1 Million Mark! This is an amazing program. It makes an immediate impact on patient's lives. Many times we heard from patients who were going to foergo Temodar during radiation because of the expense. As you know, using Temodar at the time of radiation quadruples the chances of a GBM patient surviving at least 4 years. However, it is very expensive even if you only have to pay 20% some people think twice - especially if they were also just told they will never work again. This removes some pressure at the time most families are under the biggest strain of thier lives.
The program opens and closes as we have funding available. I know people prefer to donate toward research, but consider that this is also an important cause. I set up our donation system so people can designate where we use the donation - for copayments, for research or anywhere needed. Please consider making a donation - or consider adding us to your will - or hosting a fundraiser for us!
Analyst: Celldex aiming at accelerated approval with brain cancer drug There are a few new ways to get treatments approved by the FDA - hopefully the results of the trial will be good enough to convince the FDA to let us get access to this vaccine much sooner than the standard process! I will be at the meeting when they reveal the results - will let you know how it went!
