qualifiy FOR NOTHING!!!!!!!!! What happenes when his boss desides that he
can no longer be BENEFICIAL to his company??? WHERE do WE GO? I can
not understand that i met a young 30 Year old that is on
disability,because he can not read. How do we find a solution? If

Disabilty
My question to you is how do you get the Gleevec while on
Disability? My insurance through work pays for my RX so If I went
on disability I would lose my insurance. I figure I have to work
till I die!
