For those affected by insurance issues –
The National CML Society, on a daily and ever growing basis, is helping CML patients facing insurance issues. http://www.nationalcmlsociety.org/ While the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society provides co-pay assistance for several blood cancers, they are not providing co-pay assistance to CML patients. http://www.lls.org/#/diseaseinformation/getinformationsupport/financialmatte rs/copayassistance/ One thing some patients have found helpful is to seek financial support for their non-CML drugs to help ease the burden. Helpful organizations include Needy Meds www.needymeds.org and the Patient Advocate Foundation http://www.patientadvocate.org/ This article, Coping with Cancer's Financial Burden: How to Find Help Right Now, also has suggestions. http://www.empowher.com/cancer/content/coping-cancers-financial-burden-how-f ind-help-right-now Hope these are helpful, I know many people are having a difficult time right now and many charitable organizations have seen a decline in donations as well.

Do you know what it means? The number 18 stands for life, and it is pronounced CHI like clearing your throat. 18's to you. Marty <http://groups.google.com/group/cmlhope/t/5bc369f353e301a1> ordering Gleevec or imatinib from a Canadian Rx company Pat <[email protected]> Oct 28 08:53AM -0700 Carol - Imatinib/Gleevec is not available in generic form from Canada. I have seen ads for so-called "Canadian" pharmacies claiming to sell generic Gleevec but would not trust my personal health to them. The National CML Society offers assistance in dealing with insurance and co-pay issues and would be able to help you further. http://www.nationalcmlsociety.org/ Good luck to you and your husband, Pat Elliott Phoenix, Arizona You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Group cmlhope.
