Interesting Info

Hi All
My wife is scheduled for her 6th herceptin today.Our Onc had said if you BUY 5 herceptin doses the 6th is free and he gave the number of Roches representative.We called him he took all the details and yesterday arranged for delivery of one 450 mg dosage(my wife's normal dosage) to be delivered in a thermocole packingwith instructions as tp storing it and taking it to the hospiyal.We saved Rs1,10,000/- about 2450 US $. I am very thankfull for that as our insurance which is here normally based on a insured sum ended with the 3rd Chemo.A PET scan is scheduled a fortnight from today and I hope it will show some +ve trends
Thanks all
PBK
