Your insurance company must not understand how the drug works very well. After you've given them a good talking to, I'm sure they'll understand.
After reading up some, this is some pretty scary stuff. But if it makes you feel any better, you're in a low-risk group. I mean, I don't know how old you are, and I suppose that it's impolite to ask, but if I had to guess, you're in your thirties. And you're female. As of 2007, at least, only one female came down with HSTCL from the remi/thiopurine combo and she was 17. All the rest were mostly teen/twenty-something males. Also, I don't know how many infusions you've had by now, but all of them came down with it by at least their 25th infusion. So if you've passed that mark, then it's even more unlikely.
