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/
