The drug itself is called Voranigo (Vorasidenib). It was approved by the FDA in August to treat brain tumors. Since starting the pill a few months ago, every time I get the pills delivered, the price lines make my head spin.
Edit: want to add that the savings card saved me like $400, so that’s something right?
Edit 2: wanted to add further context. This is a targeted chemo pill. Ideally I will take this for the rest of my life. More likely I will take it until it doesn’t work. This type of chemo doesn’t kill the cancer, but keeps it from growing further. Every time I see those prices, it’s kind of a lot because I’m reminded that my husband has to work a job he hates for me to be on his high premium health insurance since I resigned from my job as an attorney earlier this year. My seizures got worse and it affected my ability to help clients. It’s a complicated mix of feelings tbh.

The entire insurance and medical system is like a joke.
