I know we all poo poo big business ( me included) but, my experience is the Drug Companies are generally VERY willing to help a patient with drug expenses; so, like the commercial says ' if you're having trouble affording your medication'.... contact them. Also, if you have a facility near you that performs clinical trials ( not just cancer..) find out about participating in a trial, it could help you or someone you know; and some trials are compensated. thanks for letting me ramble!
