I'm a bit mystified how the cost of this treatment can amount to half a million dollars.  I'd sure like to see that itemized.

I'm thinking of it as a new product so it will be expensive until there are more such treatments/possibilities on the market.

I saw the price and just about choked, myself.

Once the treatment is available and for use against more than one type of cancer, I suspect (hope!) we'll see a marked drop in the cost of treatment.
