It is wonderful! But oh my, it is still so very expensive. In time, it likely will be a routine treatment that will be covered by publicly funded health care. It's a huge step.

I hope the FDA can still deliver these wonderful breakthroughs in this current climate.

But what wonderful news!

ETA: But of course it's discouraging that it isn't accessible to individuals at $2 million a pop. Wouldn't it be wonderful if health care was available to all? (I'm just dreaming.)
