I honestly don't know, Phillipa. I'm just repeating what my dr. said, so I'm not sure whether that would cause new cancer or simply exacerbate an existing cancer.
As far as I know, insurance should cover armour thryroid the same way it does synthroid. I don't have drug coverage, so I have to pay for all my drugs out of pocket or try to get on the manufacturer's patient assistance program, which actually isn't that hard, once you get the hang of it. Over the past few years, I've been on patient assistance for wellbutrin, vyvanse, parnate and gabitril. I wouldn't be able to afford my medications if it weren't for patient assistance in many cases, since some of these drugs are so expensive.
