Re: Insurance Company Does Not Want to approve TYKERB
Sheila,
Stinks that you have to fight cancer AND the insurance company, but have the doc write letters, make phone calls, do as Steph says and call for compassionate use. I hope this gets resolved quickly and that you will be able to use that time to play with those wonderful grandchildren of yours. HUGGLES!!!! Take care.
