Thanks Griff.

As an aside, the word 'death' appears WAY too often in the literature that accompanied this med.  It also said I can't shave with a blade while on this drug, and to use an electric razor.  The actual dope came by FedEx from  Walgreens Specialty Order in Louisville, and a pharmacist talked to me for 20 minutes about this drug.

The treatment is actually worse than the disease, semms like.

You didn't sign up for this, but are doing what you can.  Sorry to hear you have to deal with it.  It just sucks.

You're doing the right thing, taking the meds. Please keep doing it. They'll make you feel like shit but they have a really good chance of getting you past all of this. I like you and want you to stay around.

I've been reading on the interwebs, and apparently almost everyone on Imatinib is pretty much on it for life.

It was on the interwebs, it must be true.

Also, sorry for the thread hijacking...

The Wikipedia article you linked to mentions generic Imatinib at $2 a pill.
Have you gotten that figured out yet?

The receipt said "your insurance saved you $5443.65."

Works out to over $180 a pill (caplet), which is for a 400mg caplet (pill), which is more in line with the 100mg price of $20-$30, at the link.

Not exactly, but closer.

May be that the insurance required the generic, maybe that's how they saved me money.  Idk, and I don't care long as I'm not paying out of pocket for it.

ETA:  OK, I missed the amount by a smidge, but:



When you figure it out, let me know.
