Re: my neuro last friday...Terri

[Guest guest]

Terri, I'm soo sorry to here your news. You are still fighing it though and that's basically what we have to do is fight it every day of our life because it's like a thief that wants to take everything good out of oour lives. My prayers are with you. If you need to vent or get it out of your system that's what we are here for.

After giving me a hug and then the tissues because by that time I was fighting off the tears. He then told me he knew my reservations

about Tysarbi & Novantrone because of the cost & side-effects. I lost my sister to cancer 6/95 and the possible links to cancers and other reactions (heart) scared the crap out of me. Plus, I had with Methotrexate (liver function and skin) so he was hesitant about recommending them anyway. He then TOLD me to get myself back on one of the ABC drugs and even

though it's a daily dosage (Copaxone) he thinks it would help me more. Because I *was/had* been taking Avonex since it was introduced in 1995 (?) citing I may have built neutralizing antibodies to the Avonex. So tomorrow after I call Shared solutions and get info as to cost, co-pays & coverage's I'll then call and pull some money from my 401K for that and also take more for my daughter Joni's college in the fall of 2007. Thanks for Reading it actually took me quite awhile to

wrap my brain around this & then to type it...sigh* Many Healing Hugs Terri ny's Sister (43)11/22/57~2/12/01 (suicide) 's Sister (35) 5/01/61~6/25/96 (cancer) My Memorial Site:http://geocities.com/withlovefromterri/Index.html My photo albums at yahoo:http://photos.yahoo.com/jnt4359
