Re: Oh yeah, and about that bad leg...

bit confused by the timing...

when was injury/what happened

did you take the cipro before or after the initial injury...did it get worse anytime after you took the cipro (can happen quickly or much later, I understand)

See if you can get lots of your doctors involved ("sign a petition") to help you get the Perjeta either from your insurance or from Genentech. Lots of doctors looking at Genentech's handling of this may help, but they are probably afraid to give it to someone whose history does not match its indications "It is not yet approved for that indication" I can already hear coming from their mouths.

If insurance won't come around and Genentech takes that position, kperhaps compassionate use may be the only way and I don't know if that allows those for whom the approved indication is not there ie, the legal implications.

Let's all keep brainstorming!
