Re: Liver Mets
Coolbreeze, wow that is great advice!. I really appreciate your posts and the time you take to help everyone out. I have learned so much from you.
Jo, I think Genentech might also lobby specifically on your behalf. They are probably already lobbying the Canadian government to cover this drug so maybe they will have some ideas. They will help with copays too, so that might help to at least offset expenses. They have a program you can sign up for that will assist with copays for Herceptin, so maybe they have something for Perjecta as well.
Finally, Bunty: you look fabulous in that gorgeous dress! I love it!
