I got a call from Tykerb Cares on Friday (pretty fast since my oncologists office sent them the paperwork on Thursday). The representative said that they had contacted my insurance and that I was covered for this medicine. She said that some pharmacy (didn't remember the name) would be contacting me about the benefits and getting the drug to me. By benefits, I guess they mean my copay. When I mistakenly sent the prescription to my local pharmacy, they checked and told me that my insurance said the co-pay would be 20.00. Don't know if that's correct or not but that would be wonderful. My husband works for Tyco and they are self insured through Blue Cross. Since this is such a big company we have great insurance. They have never blinked an eye with any of my treatment or my regular PET scans. I am hoping my co pay will be reasonable because if it is too high, I don't know if I will be able to do it as a preventative. Michelle, how long are you going to stay on it. I am thinking about 3 months. ..sherryg683
