Hi Mike, Like you I am a worrier, since I am finacially challenged, and in looking at the Medicare &You booklet for 2009 there seems to be a percentage coinsurance on cancer drugs and even if given in the doctors office, I am going to call Medicare and try to figure this out. I have Medicare and a Mediare Supplement insurance that includes Medicare D for drugs, hopefully any changes will not affect your treatment or others with limited incomes. And thanks to everyone who confirmed my opinion on giving blood to a specific person, I thought you were able to, will contact local blood bank to find out how. Take care Joanne
