My sister in law in Indonesia has (had? Not sure) stage four cancer and is only alive over the last 4 years because the family are having to pay for the expensive drug. I can’t remember the name, but it was the on the UKs NHS refused to use because of the cost.
The medication matches the household income. That’s two fully grown adults and one working child.
I know the NHS here is always talked about as being in trouble, but in still glad we have it.
Bristol Myers Squibb also makes my cancer drug, Sprycel, which has a similar price tag at just over $18k a month without insurance.
They also make my mother’s heart medication Eliquis, which is similarly costly as well.

If you haven’t already, you should be looking at generic dasatinib, released more than a year ago. It’ll be a fraction of the cost.
Have you considered just not having cancer instead?
Just Turn It Offf dude
as far as I know they heavily subsidize the cost especially if you don’t have insurance
