Re: Alcohol ban? Really?

Though I didn't drink during chemo due to tasting bad. I am 6 years out and I still drink 1-2 times a week. One drink only as I am a light weight.

Re: Medical Insurance question

You can have a private insurance as a secondary insurance only I think. It has to be set up as that. They would cover the 20% that Medicare doesn't.

Re: Simple question re: Claritin for Neulesta
