Personally I see the price as being reasonable given that 4 out 5 people treated are cancer free.

We need to factor in the cost saving of treating those who are now cancer free. I had 2 drugs that cost just under £10000 in total to prepare me for a kidney transplant. I was fortunate in that the transplant was a success and have not needed dialysis for nearly 4 years now. So, in my case, that £10000 was well spent.

Oh and don't forget the effects of being cancer free on the patient and their loved ones - you cant put a price on that!
