CellCept

[Guest guest]

GUESS WHAT?!!! My immunologist just called (yes, on Easter Saturday) to tell me

that the hospital has approved my CellCept prescription, and this means that THE

HOSPITAL WILL PAY FOR IT!!!! It won't cost me a penny!!!! I still can't quite

believe it!!!!!!!

So I just have to get the medication from the hospital pharmacy each month, but

it's completely covered. My god, I'm so relieved ... I've been panicking and

sick with worry about it all week.

I kind of wish he'd explained better last Monday about what " getting approval "

meant - he never mentioned that that process would mean the hospital would cover

the costs, he just said " It's very expensive " , which implied that it would be

expensive to *me*. I pick up the script and first batch on Wednesday, and then

can start to taper off the Prednisolone again. My Eye Clinic results from last

week showed some deterioration in my peripheral vision, but not a huge amount.

Anyway! Best Easter Present Ever!

Now I just have to hope that it WORKS, but that's another matter ... very very

VERY relieved.
