CLL for 6 years, 80 years old!

[Dummer70]

My husband has CLL, AND HAS HAD THREE issues with fluid in his lungs, and the last one was very serious , with infection! So they stopped Imbruvica, and have him once a month doing infusions of IVIG. VERY EXPENSIVE, even with insurance , monthly it is 549 per month. We can’t afford this indefinitely! Is there any help then a foundation, someone might advise??
