The general issue always comes down to financial outlay for the patient. It’s a constant challenge, especially at the community oncology level, to find adequate resources that cover cancer care for our patients. As we know, the cost of the cancer care is going up every single year, so it is a constant struggle, from NOLA and our standpoint, to find the resources to keep up every single year. There are willing partners—there’s a little silver lining there—but that’s the main challenge.
