Hi Theresa - Thanks os much for sharing another poem. I am certain there are other people like you who are scared and finding it difficult to cope with their diagnosis.
I was just wondering if you had an oppoirtunity to investigate or even contacting some of the drug companies to see if you might qualify for reduced cost or even free prescriptions. I'm going to cut and paste my reply to you on this as well as add the link to Dr. Kantor's comment to your post. It might just be work your while.
