Guest guest Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Hi , Regarding paying for the drug Gleevec, I think if you contact Novartis they do have a program where they will provide the drug free of charge for those who are having trouble paying for it(and frankly without insurance, virtually EVERYBODY would have trouble paying for it!!) I think if you go to the GLeevec website there might be a link or information about how to contact them about this. Good luck and God bless! I'll be praying for you.
