promacta

I have profound thrombocytopenia, and am starting Promacta this week (prescribed by my hematologist) in the hopes that this will help -- nothing else has. My insurance is covering the cost, although I believe that the medical team did have to go to some lengths, but nothing extraordinary, to get it all worked out with my insurance company.
