Agree with that sentiment, 😀

My situation is that I have toothache and need an extraction or two after having been on Zometa for 3 years. (They are not stopping zometa after 2 years like they used to) I've been off zometa since the end of October .'

Hi, You [u]do[/u] have to meet some criteria. For the care element you need to have to have near constant personal care. For the mobility element you need to have very restricted mobility. I think its either ability to walk less than 100 ft or 100 yards, I can't remember.

I suggest that if you think you [u]should[/u]qualify, contact your…[Read more]

Yes Tom I agree. But to a great extent our treatment is decided by N.I.C.E whereas in the States the insurance companies fund the drugs in the doses and combinations that the individual consultants want to use.

On the subject of SCT, I took the view that 1 month of severe discomfort was a fair price to pay for the 2 years (average) of quality…[Read more]

(£160 for Three weeks in the Philillipines for a 67 year old man in C.R but with 4 compression fractures….Not on any…[Read more]

(Some on the existing factsheets gave me the highest quotes) I Suggest travellers check the travel insurance quotes and info on this thread. It looks like a great…[Read more]

Well Done! I'm playing the same game. 28 months in now – no sign of pp or light chains. 😀

My immune system is a bit of a mess – just getting over a 4 week hacking cough that antibiotics finally saw off. I'm wondering what goes on…I know the white blood cells return after SST but that doesn't mean the immune system is working? (I have…[Read more]

Yup, I found USA travel is a no no from the point of view of travel insurance (More specifically: USA, Canada and the Carribean)
