Hi ,

I got this news from my CML doctor. The doctors were the ones who had the

headache of filling out the form. It is no longer required for Gleevec. I

don't think that there was a press release on this. If your doctor needs the

details, I will get it for you.

Wow, thanks for the good news, Zavie. Do you have a link to a news

release or article that talks about this?

Hi Wayne,

My current situation is straightforward. I am over 65 and it required a

section 8.

Prior to turning 65 my private insurance paid 80% and I was responsible for

the remainder. I applied to Trillium for assistance with the remaining 20%.

This required a section 8 to be filled out.

Your understanding about the system is right on.

I have benefited and continue to benefit from our medical system.
