try switching your hematologist, i think she's asking you too much for a chemotherapy session. 200K! that's way too much! i have a son who also have an Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia but we only pay PhP 2500-3500 per chemotherapy session. And his WBC are responding well to the therapy. Why not try asking some financial aid from PCSO or the Cancer Institute.

hi thank you so much for your suggestion.actually my sister's case is a little complicated kind of Leukemia "sorry my sister's case is ph+ acute mylogeneous leukemia" her hematologist is giving her high dosage as a matter of fact she just got released from the hospital yesterday 10-22-09 after two months of lying in pain.we have already asked help with PCSO they issued us 100,000.00php but that is not enough our hospital bill reached 350,000.00php. this is just the 2nd cycle of her treatment we still have 6 more cycle of chemo sessions.

Its very sad to listen that you sister has been fallen in PH+ acute lymphoblastice Leukemia. In this regard I can't help you financially but I can suggest you that you have to come Pakistan as there is a charitable Cancer Hospital who is organized by World's famous Super Star Cricketer Mr. Imran Khan. Here I can give you the proper link and I m sure that you will find the best results if you really want to see healthy your sister. I pray to GOD for the better health also.
