***CORRECTION***to my 11/20 post: Patient Assistance Program for Meds
I made a mistake on my previous post. My friend, Alice, called today. She purchases Femara using a Novartis card NOT a Together card. Femara IS one of the meds covered at a discount with the Together card, but it's not nearly the savings on that med as offered from the mfr. of Femara, Novartis. She only pays $12 for Femara…

"There is no such thing as a dumb question"
"Your doctor should take your questions seriously. He or she should be interested in your concerns and not make you feel rushed or inconsequential. If your doctor does not respond this way, bring it up at your next visit". These 2 quotes come directly from one of the oncology nurses at our wonderful ACS site. They are part…
