Mesothelioma Drug Cocktails

A new drug cocktail is promising to help mesothelioma patients survive the cancer for a longer period of time. The cocktail is a mix of Alimta and Cisplatin and the result could extend patient’s lives by at least three months. The prescription may also alleviate pain, boost appetite and reduce fatigue during these difficult times.

Unfortunately, the drug is currently too pricey for many patients, costing over $24,000 for six cycles of treatment. While reports seem to indicate the price will be going down drastically in the near future, with the help of the compensation acquired through your mesothelioma attorney, you may be able to afford it sooner rather than later. This time frame could make all the difference in your treatment.

In upcoming years, researchers at UCLA’s Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center may begin develop even more effective cocktails and in shorter time periods, as they have recently discovered a new method of identifying potent drug combinations. Before now, the discoveries were only made after a long, tedious process.

Even extending your life by a few months can make all the difference in the world to you, your friends and your family. The longer you survive, the greater chance you will get to see the large settlement you have obtained with the help of a mesothelioma lawyer. Even if you don’t care about the money per se, it can still help afford you invaluable time to spend with your loved ones.

Another advantage in drug cocktails is that many times, the dosage of each drug is reduced greatly, which may mean fewer side effects of the prescription. Again, this, when paired with compensation from your mesothelioma attorney, can greatly improve your quality of life for the period you have left.
