That's why my chemo drugs don't count toward my drug plan. But the others are all given at home.
I get an anti-nausea drug that's very costly. My nurse very kindly found me some samples and that's helped a great deal.
And I know there are people much worse off than the Hubber and me...we can afford to pay if we have to; it's just that nobody wants to pay hundreds for drugs.
