I will never back down from my boycott of the US, do 'you' stand with Canada? This is a fight for our sovereignty, our way of life, we don't back down from bullies who threaten our country. This country is ours, all of us in Canada, and for anyone to threaten us, you are in for a fight. 🍁💪

In Canada, multiple myeloma patients have access to generic versions of this medication. However, the monthly cost is still quite high ($2,500+). Oral chemotherapy medications are not covered by provincial plans in several provinces, including Ontario (OHIP).
