I found a website that had a coupon card to print out that stated Femara would only cost me $10 a month. I figured why not so I took it to my pharmacy with my prescription and they said it was legit and I will only pay $10 a month for this prescription until further notice. Thought I would pass it on to others that might need it.

I picked up my prescription at pharmacy and they indeed honored the coupon. After insurance, it is usually $50 a month but now it is $10. It was bad enough having all the side effects but paying high prices for it as well really stunk. And saving $40 a month is never bad.

Way to go, Nancy. How are you doing now? Did you stop taking it for two weeks?

I thought of you as we saw all the RVs heading to Florida as we returned from North Carolina. Hope you are enjoying good weather down there.
