Hi everyone,

I hope you had a good weekend and are prepared for the week ahead!💪

Living with a chronic illness is a source of stress, not only when it comes to dealing with the daily symptoms of the condition but the financial burden is also a major stress.

What is the most expensive part of your care? The costs of doctors? The transportation to appointments? The medication? Medical devices?

Insurance usually does not cover all the costs involved. How do you manage the cost of your condition?

I will tag a few people to get the conversation started.

I am blessed with good insurance. I only pay a copay for my Revelmid and now I get the generic so it is only $14 a month. I do not have to pay for doctor visits. The only cost is traveling to see my doctor but I have no problem with that because my husband drives me and I have the most wonderful oncologist. I have Medicare and Tricare for life as my insurance.

Hi everyone,

From reading I feel for all.

I'm lucky that Dovato and the other meds don't cost me due to insurance coverage.
