Honored to work w/ Dr @nathangray.bsky.social on a graphic op-ed out now @usatoday.com on how #PriorAuth can leave some patients literally dying in pain.

Don't mistake my concern. Giredestrant is an EXCITING new tx. I just want it to be ACTUALLY available/affordable for real people.
Cost is likely >$250k/yr for <3% absolute benefit. Some people will think it's worth it ...but others would rather have that 💸 to pay rent. #SABCS25

#Giredestrant oral SERD ➡️ incredible 30% benefit for those with early stage ER+ #breastcancer.
It's not on the market yet but other similar #bcsm 💊 cost >$20k/mo vs generic AI $7.50 (on CPD w/o insurance). Let's see some affordable pricing please.🙏
