Greg, I am so sorry to hear that you have the myeloma. Also sorry that you are having so much trouble getting the medicine. You are the fourth person I know who have described problems. Two of them are my daughters. We need a better medical system. Obamacare was one step in the right direction, but not enough. If you have any ideas on advocacy, let me know. I am willing to write letters and make phone calls. PS the food illustrations were great. Best wishes to you both. Love you!

Thanks, Penny. Even the physicians I know are appalled at the broken medical system.

What an ordeal, Greg. You have my empathy because, without telling my full story, I had similar

experience. Johnson and Johnson changed their Pat. Assist. program and I was dropped...

I hope 2024 is covered for you.

That’s terrible, Rita. I’m so sorry. Do you have a hospital advocate who can work with you? The U.S. health system is so broken.

Caramba! It's a comic drama with potentially disastrous outcomes! With illustrated delicacies! Whew! I'm exhausted. I think I'll lie down and hope a pleasant dream happens along.

Thanks for the adventure! Alls well .... und so weiter.

It's sad that you had to go through that, but I'm oh-so glad it all worked out.

And, many thanks to the folks who helped you.
