Humara

[Guest guest]

My new treatment plan from Dr. Baughman is to add remicade to my

cytoxan treatments. Pretty sure my insurance will deny this and when

I questioned Dr. Baughman about the studies he mentioned in the

past,he told me I did not qualify because the study was for lung

disease and I am considered stage 2 on lung involvement. He did say

there was some " compassionate resources " if turned down by insurance.

His last statement was if I could not get the remicade he would

consider Humara which I would inject myself.

I have been looking around the net and have not found much info on

this drug especially the cost. Was wondering of any of you knew

anything about this drug.

Thanks, Elodia

Hey Lodi,

Humara is a human androgen receptor. You might want to research those?

I put " human androgen receptor injection " into http://www.google.com and

some hits came up. You could probably add cost to that search?

From just reading some of those searches from what I understand Humara is a

steroid induced cell changing thingie a bit like Remicade or Enbrel. This

link was very medical but very informative (and long) http://www.nature

I take it things aren't going well sweetie?

*big hugs*

Love isha
