Cladribine: The Battle Begins.

My Oncologist said I'm doing great and was very pleased to hear that my vision has remained good, if not improved.
We discussed Cladribine, and he agrees with me that we should try it. He does believe we're going to have trouble convincing the insurance co. to cover it. The drug isn't exactly available at the discount store. It must be infused at a hospital, and one last draw back, I have to sign a release. It lowers the blood count. So, I could die of an infection. Yeehaw!!!
We did put in for it through their computer. They said it shouldn't take very long for a reply.
I've already begun looking for assistance from the pharmaceutical co.'s.
I have confidence all will be fine :-).
