[CML] Re: Gleevac at a cheaper rate

[Rob]

There is a program that provides free Gleevec at https://maxaid.org The drug company Novartis will provide the Gleevec in some countries to qualified patients. I am not sure if Veenat is still available because there are lawsuits in India to stop its production because of patent issues. The Novartis program would be the best source at this point to try to get Gleevec, if they turn you down you also can appeal the decision.   Rob   "cchikwelugo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]...> wrote: > My brother in-law was diagnosed with CML on August 13, 2005.
