Has your Gleevec price increased recently??? Mine went up from $5300 to $9400 in one month! I take 100mg tabs, 6 of them a day. My insurance is good, fortunately. But the actual cost price increase just blows me away!!!

I have to pay 10% of the cost of my Gleevec.  I take 400 mg. per day.  It went from $457.00 per month to $535.00 per month.  I hate to wish time away, but I cannot wait for January 4, 2015 when the patent is up and a generic drug can be made!
