Hi all, My moms Oncologist wants to put her on Tykerb. She has medical coverage through my father.Prescriptions are through CVS/Caremark, but Oncologist told her she had to get Medicare, which she is able to now ,she turned 65 last month. But he said to be careful of which plan she picked because some will cover cost of medicine for awhile then dump you then maybe pick it up again a few months later, we need a plan that wont do that, that will keep covering cost of medicine like Tykerb. Anyone here have any info or advice,we would really appreciate it . Thanks ! God Bless
