Emmay,

Ok then ... very glad it was of some help.

My onc and I will be talking about Tykerb. I've faxed him all the accumulated stuff I'd saved, so we'll see how it goes. I'm ER+ as well, so will have to take that into consideration, as the reports are showing the Tykerb reactivates the receptors, while losing effectiveness itself. ohhh big sentance......

I am on SSD & SSI, state Medicaid and Medicare. The Temodar was 'approved' after appeal with a co-pay of $600.00. That is the problem. Early in the yr. our gov. was fed up with the 'new' plan, so ok'd ALL meds. That is how I got it before with a $3.00 co-pay. It's about Part B and all that crap.......

Thanks for the good wishes and kind words.
