This bag here --
Is Rituxan -- Rituxan is a monoclonal antibody -
how it works is:
it attaches to the CD20 protein on cancer cells -
once it attaches to the cells,
it brings other immune cells to help kill the cancer cells.
Oh Emery - be careful -- don't drop that - it's very expensive -- let's see -
any guesses how much this one bag is?
a little over -- $10,000
He gets this each time before he gets chemo --
It takes 3 to 4 hours to get it -- but wow!
Here's Emery and Maynard -- out for a walk.

We have talked about how much we have to be thankful for --
good jobs and insurance are two of the things
that we are very thankful for today.
