Commented elsewhere on this gem by quoting John Berger's pre-feminist insight from On Looking.

Yes, and my apologies for sounding terse. Your larger point clearly stands!

Does anyone want a survivorship bias shortbread

Just out at JNCI, we review 20 years of RCTs in myeloma for lessons in drug development.

Surprisingly, head-to-head trials were as likely to be successful as add-on trials.

Yes, especially so we can hear Peter say "symbology" in his "reader who Dan Brown doesn't trust to know what 'semiotics' means" accent.

is it for all comers, or just those without prior ASCT?

Our copay just went up to $2500 a month for the generic. It's very inexpensive to produce but does have to be tightly controlled bc of risks.

We just learned our copay for the generic is nearly $2,500

myeloma.org.au will be a good resource for you! Best wishes as you begin to navigate all of this. There is a ton of progress being made in this disease!

To put this in context, that's the cost of *maybe* two months of Revlimid, a common "maintenance" drug many pts take for years after their initial round of treatment, which itself would have exceeded $50k many times over...

I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m worried about ACA pre-existing conditions clause being overturned. My husband’s maintenance chemo for multiple myeloma bills at about $600,000 annually. His employer insurance covers, but if ACA is altered and his cancer isn’t covered, we can’t afford that. He’s 59.

Skeet, skeet, against the dying of the light...

Well said!

Yes -- so, please, take the same energy you brought to censuring Democrat Al Green for violating "rules, decorum, and accountability" and put it toward doing something about the daily dumpster arson committed by this administration.

@barackobama.bsky.social Dear President Obama: please speak up about the authoritarian actions of the current administration. This isn’t a normal successor of yours where the tradition for former presidents is to remain silent. We need you now.

The 10 Democrats who voted to censure Rep. Al Green:

Ami Bera, Calif.
Ed Case, Hawaii
Jim Costa, Calif.
Laura Gillen, N.Y.
Jim Himes, Ct.
Chrissy Houlahan, Pa.
Marcy Kaptur, Ohio
Jared Moskowitz, Fla.
Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, Wash.

Gene regulation study reports surprising results: Extensive regions of DNA belong to multiple gene switches Some sequences in the genome cause genes to be switched on or off. Until now, each of these gene switches, or so-called enhancers, was thought to have its own place on the DNA. Different enhancers are...
