Majer, do you mean you will no longer be on Imbruvica? Sorry you have had such a rough time.

I hope you are feeling better and that the thyroid operation goes well.

Not a good time for you. Hope things will go more smoothly as the spring progresses. will say a prayer for you.

Sometimes we think life is tough, and then it goes and gets worse.

So sorry to hear your news, hope that the operation is soon over and you have kicked that thyroid cancer into touch. Times like this we find we have extra reserves to get over these operations and treatments, wishing you strength, and a brighter future minus that cancer.

Do lets us know how you are when you feel up to it.

Sending positive thoughts and huge hugs.

I have just been released from the hospital after staying a month for pneumonia and am weak. Have you progressed? I am still doing physical therapy 3 Xs a week and I also have been off the Imbruvica and will restart on one cap when I have to have treatment according to my lab numbers, I was just hoping that you could tell me that you are doing better and getting stronger.

I am on Imbruvica from September 2016 taking 3 pills a day and as I am on my wife insurance I was paying $ 25.00 dollars for a month supplies . My wife took a retirement after 30 years in the NY from the school system , and we apply for Medicare,and from

Emblem health and we have optional Rider and Ship and the price went to $ 4500.00 for a month . the cheapest I find was $ 550.00 for a month. I am 80 years old and I find this prices out of reach . Is somebody able to tell me a better price or $ 550.00 is the real price.in Brooklyn N>Y>
