no procrit
but I wanted to welcome you to the boards! I see you joined in November, but have just begun posting! I am sorry your mother is going through this, but am glad she has you as an advocate for her. I am wondering, you paid $400 as you CO-PAY? and now it's gone up to $700? Or is it just that your co-pay is dependent on the cost of the drug, so it's gone up? I am darn lucky my co-pays for prescriptions are $3 for a month generic, $9 for a month name-brand.

Hi, i just wanted to comment.. if your mom is getting procrit and is being treated toward a cure.. i would ask the doctor why she is getting it. You could google it..there is lots of info on there on why it is not recommended anymore..my doc will still give it to stage IV patients if they are terminal..but not to stage IV patients who have a chance of cure.. and no stage 1, 2 or 3 patients.0
