      My husband Scott is really helped by taking Zofran for nausea, he needs one a day. 

      The insurance only covers 10 and gives us a lot of trouble to get more.  It's a big hassle and worrysome.  He needs the Zofran in order to maintain his weight.

      He is going to see if his oncologist can do something to improve the situation, maybe write an letter or call??

      Has anyone else had this happen and what did you do?

      Thanks, Lisa
