Team,

Is anyone paying out-of-pocket for Sutent, or have a hefty copay and having financial difficulty? I'm not trying to sell any Sutent or any health plan, so that's not the reason for my question....

    That is one thing I am very

    That is one thing I am very thankful of at least....I don't pay for my Sutent. Health Canada shoulders everything...

    GREAT!

    I don't know much about it but I'm told Canada has one of the best public health insurance programs.

    Yes Phoenix since I was

    Yes Phoenix since I was diagnose last Jan. 27, 2014, I never spent a single cent on anything. Hospitalization, Laboratory fee, Doctors fee, surgery, sutent etc. are all free..... although we are one of the most  heavily taxed people in the world in times like this we get our money back.....And this is one of the things I am very thankful of at least because I don't have to worry about money when it comes to my illness........thanks...
