Affording Co-pays

A MyLungCancerTeam Member asked a question 💭
Ft Mitchell, AL

How do you afford your medicine? I had one grant that has now run out. The pharmacy just let me know that even with my insurance, the copay is $2200.00 a month!

American Cancer Society has programs to support patients in paying for their meds. If you can’t find where to go in your area let me know. I’m on the local ACS board and I may be able to find where to go in your area if you cannot. Start with cancer.org.

I decided not to do Tagrisso but I think, as some have noted, you can contact the manufacturer, AstraZeneca for assistance. T have a vested interest in having data in as many patients as possible.
