Question of prescription in Canada

[Guest guest]

I apologize if this has been asked before..I am just trying to get all our

things organized here

and not getting much help from Gov't agencies. my husband will be starting

Gleevec in

about 2 weeks.

We live in BC, Canada and were wondering if anyone else has some idea of how the

payment

of the prescription works here. I phoned Cancer Care for some info but was

passed off to

another number which no one answered. We have insurance which covers 80% of the

cost but

maxes out very quickly. After reading of the costs of Gleevec, I am trying to

figure out how

everyone works it out financially. Any advice would help greatly as this is

unchartered

territory. Thanks so much in advance!
