They will need positive TLD to get up near capacity. I think they will have more than the 4-5 patients a month they had in London, but positive TLD could take them towards capacity. Most people will spend, or try to find the money needed, to have a chance of survival.

I’ll share a story with you Maverick since you’re new here. My grandfather was diagnosed with Glioblastoma and his oncologist gave him about a year to live. The Optune “helmet” was recommended after standard of care as the only “treatment” available that might extend his life. It cost $20k a month and it wasn’t covered by Medicare at the time. He was not wealthy but his house was paid for and he had some savings. He didn’t want to spend the money because he wanted to leave it for my grandmother to have a comfortable life. My grandmother begged and pleaded with him to pay for it because she was terrified of losing him and being alone since he had always taken care of her. He could never say no to my grandmother. I’ll spare you the ugly details, but he battled one of the worst cancers you can imagine for ten months, and it cost his entire life savings. You might not understand what people are willing to do to live a little longer until you’ve been there.
