My name is Susan Mayhew. I survived breast cancer in 1996 with mastectomy and chemotherapy, only to be diagnosed in 2005 with chronic myelogenous leukemia. I had Health Net coverage through my employer, Marana Unified School District in Tucson Arizona. I kept their coverage for one year after I retired from teaching and then retirees were essentially bumped by pricing to the Arizona State Retirement’s health insurance provider, PacifiCare as of July 1st, 2008.
I refilled my prescription for Sprycel, my leukemia medication this week. Last month HealthNet was billed $6,532.29 for a month’s supply of little white pills. This week, PacifiCare paid out $7,183.00 for this month’s supply. I have no idea what the limit is for cost per illness or lifetime payout with PacifiCare, but a recent article in the Arizona Daily Star discussed the treatment limits that cancer patients face… this is much scarier than the cancer itself!

My mother has CML, and her doctor has prescribed SPRYCEL. We have applied to the Destination Access patient assistance program and were denied because my mother is not a permanent US resident. We do not know what to do. There is no way she can afford buying SPRYCEL. She has no insurance, either.
