My Sprycel is aroung $8000,00 monthly, that is not right. My insurance pays, but what of the people who don't have insurance. My pharmacy says my pill is the most expensive one they have. Go figure; there's nothing we can do about it. Just count our lucky stars we can get the drugs we need. Jeanie<3 In a message dated 8/2/2010 9:45:10 A.M.

Hi all: Here's my take on this "Tasigna over Gleevec" possible change in protocol & you can take it for what ever it's worth. I try to have a positive outlook on things and would like to think everyone is honest and with integrity. But, with so much happening in our country.......I've become somewhat "jaded" & tend more to think the worst now. Novartis is soon to lose it's hold on the patent of Gleevec......what, three to four years......which will allow generic brands to be made, thus making it less expensive. (My one month supply is now $4460). When the article first came out a few months ago where they were discussing about making Tasigna the "go to" drug Doctors would begin choosing to treat CML, I kind of figured it then that it all comes down to "greed" on the drug companies part. Sorry, but, I just can't help it when one sees the money these drug companies make a year........it is totally insane. Just my opinion (which really isn't worth much, LOL) Suzieq -- [CMLHope] A support group of http://cmlhope.com ------------------------------------------------- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CMLHope" group.
