Hi Sophie,

As Jenni said, the Rtx doesn't cost as much as that. I think it is one of the cheaper treatments and I was told between £5,000 and £8,000 A YEAR (depending on how many treatments you have) and that includes ALL costs, doctors, nurses, day ward charges etc.

Hope it is working well for you. I have now had 3 lots and each time the gap between them gets larger. I had my last lot in November and am still feeling very well and haven't had a flare up this year. I have tried Enbrel and Infliximab and failed on both, so I am so pleased to have Rtx as it has given me back my life as I had had 10years of flares and nothing that would stop the onslaught of 'Arthur'.

Warmest wishes, Ann
