I CANNOT believe that you have to pay for a clinical trial!! Who is sponsoring the trial? A drug companyI presume, so how can they charge you? Most  trials I have read about they pay YOU for travel  and all medical care connected to the trial.

This can't be legal, can it? Especially if you may get the placebo? You might check with the FDA on this. It doesn't seem right!
Still wishing you the best and know you WILL beat this!!!!

Hugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alex!  Big hugs to you, girl!  I'm so sorry your cancer has spread - this just rots, and I hate that you're going through this!!  It also rots that whoever is sponsoring this study has the nerve to charge participants! Grrrrr!

Big hugs to the doggies and Clara, too.

It's ludicrous! Just crazy how it works out depending on your income. For example, Tecfidera can offer you $10 month copay but not for people on Medicare or Medicaid.  Aren't they the ones especially that need it?!  I am so angry this is happening to you.  

Whatever your next course, know that many people are praying for you.  The power of prayer can do amazing things!

So if your rich you may have a cure if your poor forget bout it. That is absurb wrong in so many ways. And you may not get the medicine. Alex thisbis just wrong call your congressman let them know even if its just your voice it needs to be heard.

Do you know that I have to pay for the whole clinical trial and I might get a placebo! I think this is criminal.

Alex, from what you have written lately, this is probably not a big surprise to you.  Now that this hunch is a reality, you again have to focus your energy toward the cancer.  I am so sorry this battle is still on - you're a tough fighter and I know you will give it your best shot.  Here's hoping the trial come through for you.  very gentle hugs, Laura

Dear Alex
You're a fighter and no reason to let this news knock you over. I'm very sorry too but I can only think that you'll deal with this latest bad news the way that you have previously and that is with enormous courage and fine humour.  

Go Alex, go Alex, go Alex!!
