A fascinating article detailing one of the very few known patients in the world with neuroendocrine tumors trying immunotherapy drugs to try as an alternative approach to this disease when the others stop working. So important and inspiring for patients like myself who will eventually be at this turning point, and need this information. Danielle, thank you for sharing your story so that others like myself can have a fighting chance in the future.

It still amazes me each time I read the disgusting price we must pay when it comes to keeping ourselves alive, how is it okay that because a drug is approved for one type of cancer it will cost 6$ Australian but 5000$ A SHOT for this woman? This is the price we pay for being rare, one of the many issues we face as a rare disease, as Ronny so perfectly put it… one should never be in a situation where we are forced to think about “money or life”, but we do and we will constantly have to. It’s not enough that we must worry about our cancer being incurable, then when we do have someone willing to try a drug on an experimental basis for the rest of the population of those who will suffer with this disease, it comes down to a price tag.

I know of VERY few people who are trying these drugs for pheo in the world, the more information and experiences we have and share, the better @Ronny, you always do an incredible job at getting the stories out there., Thank you 💛✌🏼️
