I am teacher- I have Caremark!  I take 800mg-  Why do I pay 60 dollars for 90 days?  Hmmm...with which school district does she work for? Allyson From:  "mburwen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Reply-To:  CMLHope@googlegroups.comTo:  "CMLHope" Subject:  [CMLHope] Re: Gleevec mail orderDate:  Tue, 07 Feb

I may be the most fortunate Gleevec recipient of all. My wife's insurance (she is a teacher) has a drug plan through Caremark. When I was on 400mg/day, a 90-day supply cost $30. Now I am on 800 mg/day and the $30 copay is waived! Mike Burwen

There are several wish -granting organizations for adults. some are for young adults, others may have other specific criteria, age ranges, etc.. Talk to the oncology social worker at your treatment facility, who also may know of local programs, and/or programs for children of cancer patients.

Hi John, This $2500 copay is only once a year.  Then I have met my deductable for the year and the all my meds are free for the rest of the year.  It's still a lot of money for me as I am retired and live on a small SS pension. My secondary insurance pays for my meds and I am on Medicare.  I did
