Hi Larry, Sorry to hear about the change in insurance. That was about what I was paying in my company insurance; I then qualified for help through PSI. That is a program for low income people, but you might check with them. They paid my initial $2500, but this was only after I had paid it a few years myself. You might try some of the prescription helps and see if you qualify. It's bad enough we have to fight this CML, and then we have to struggle to pay for these expensive drugs. My heart goes out to you an to all who are struggling to pay. Keep fighting CML WARRIORS. Blessings Jeanie<3 In a message dated 5/12/2008 9:37:03 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
