Guest guest Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Jeanie: Dr. Pinilla is amazing and will take as much time as you need to get your answers. He cares very much about your quality of life. (Please tell him that " Matt " said hello. I saw him two weeks ago.) If this is your first visit, try to meet Joyce, who is the case worker who will help you with medication and insurance issues. Good luck and have a list of questions to answer and he will take time to answer them all.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Hi Jeanie, I also go to Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa. I have an appointment tomorrow. Who do you see? From: ICANDOALLTTC@... <ICANDOALLTTC@...> Subject: [ ] 8th day on Tasigna Date: Tuesday, September 30, 2008, 7:36 AM Hi all, What a wonderful group! This is my 8th day on Tasigna. I have tolerated the drug well except for the bad tummy ache. My primary care doctor put me on Nexium. I would like to try the Hyoscyamine, but it wasn't covered by my drug company. Does anyone know what it cost? Dr Druker said Nexium was OK. Yesterday was my Doctor and test day. I had an EKG, and blood test for everything. I'll get the results today. My Onc gave me Tramadol for pain. It seems to work well. I will be going to Moffitt Cancer Center on Thurs. Maybe they can tell me what this pain is. The pharmacy said the Tasigna was about $6,000.00 for one month. Thanks heavens my insurance pays for it. I pray everyone is good today, and fighting the good fight. Blessings, Jeanie<3 ************ **Looking for simple solutions to your real-life financial challenges? Check out WalletPop for the latest news and information, tips and calculators.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Same Doctor, same nurse. The Dr has a strong accent. My first visit, I had a difficult time understanding him but I no longer have a problem. Yes, I am also on Tasigna, 600 mg per day. My last visit showed a problem with my pancreas so tomorrows visit is to check on that. I live in Naples so I am driving up today and staying overnight. Where do you live?
