Re: Insurance Company Does Not Want to approve TYKERB

As if it isn't bad enough that we have this crappy disease to begin with, we have to have the stress of battling it out with insurance companies just to fight it. I hope that the doctor is able to help you. If not, the ladies had some good advice. Good luck!
