  2. I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life, and that is why I succeed.

  3. WE ARE TOGETHER!!

  4. Thank God for giving humans the science to eliminate Melanoma. WOW moment😢😊

  5. As its experimental phase passes the cost will come down dramatically as it’s reproduction and use increase.

  6. This price tag over half a million will allow it to be given to rich people only. it is not fair . it should be given with government subside

  7. Half a Mill for only 30-40% efficacy. You need to do better.

  8. Cool… A luxury for the rich!

  9. This treatment is actually cheaper than what it was before FDA approval before but still so expensive that it costs out most folks… hope our treatments reach as many patients as possible

  10. No one trusts them anymore

  11. If he’s smart then he will not pay for that expensive therapy. There’s a cure for cancer which is far cheaper. It’s called vitamin D3.

  12. Not even going to address the fact that this will bankrupt many and be unavailable to most? 👎

  13. Pretty incredible but .5 million for a 30-40% chance of efficacy. Hopefully they can scale the cost over time as that is outrageous..

  14. And it doesn’t matter if it works or even if it has detrimental side effects, as long as they’re making a lot of money.

  15. The Cost of TIL is a new type of Cancer. I think it's not meant to save human lives generally.

  16. Why so much?, the reporters should have asked this obvious question.

  17. Glasgow University, City of Hope

  18. So they’re going to brush past that $500K cost like most people can afford that?

  19. That is expensive treatment. It costs a house for this treatment. Universal Healthcare Now.

  20. Now russia bringing new vaccine for cancer

  21. This is great news! Terrific work 👏

  22. Yet, stocks of Elly Lilly and Novo norsk skyrocketing for diabetes drug 😢

  23. Had a friend who was diagnosed with cancer, a very large mass on her lungs needed instant chemotherapy, but she refused. They gave her 3 months to live and 5 months if she took the chemo. She still refused. 1 month later went for a second test to check on its growth. You guessed it, tumor had completely disappeared. Whoopsie!

  24. The good news is you’re alive – the bad news is you’re flat broke………🙄

  25. When will this come to Canada man

  26. And just WHY is this cancer cure a pawn and way to make big pharma more money – while those who can’t afford the price just die?
