I know Gleevec is now (or will soon be) offered in a generic form.  What about Sprycel?  I believe we're still a ways away but I am curious when we can expect it.  With my luck I will have a gene mutation requiring the new $11,000/month drug.

On a lighter note, I am running the LA Marathon in March and already raised about $2,500.  Our group alone raised over $40,000 since mid-November.  If anyone has been looking for a philanthropy, check out your local Team In Training (TNT) group.  TNT is affiliated with LLS and specifically raises funds for blood cancer research and financial aid for those who need it.   It's a lot of fun, you make some new friends, and its (obviously) for a good cause.

Hope you all had a great holiday season.

I think the patent currently goes out to 2020.
