I have MS and am curious, are there any drugs that are proven to be effective in remylenation?
Thanks for your question Riun. While there are drugs available for the remylation process, we at NeedyMeds are not qualified to advise on which would be most effective for a patient’s treatment. We recommend consulting with your doctor, or the National MS society, for the most accurate information regarding treatment.
Good day
I seek financial assistance for the drug Herceptin for adjuvant, metastatic (HER2*) breast cancer. The cos for the cycle is R232 000 (17 injections) that need to be administered in the early stages of the breast cancer. I a single with only a hospital plan as I am divorces for 13 years now and took care of my daughter and periodically of my son, depleting funds. I bought a small house, pay mortgage and all living costs. I do work, but my salary isn’t enough to sustain the Herceptin program. I am desperately looking for a sponsor the help me with treatment as time is running out to start the treatment. Thank you so much, regards
Thanks for reaching out Susan. There are a number of programs available for Herceptin. First, there are four PAPs that you can find here – http://www.needymeds.org/brand-drug/name/Herceptin – we recommend reaching out to all four.
Additionally there is a co-pay program for Herceptin you can find here – https://www.copayassistancenow.com/#/herceptin/copay-card – that will help lower the insurance co-payment for this medication.
We also have a Breast Cancer resource page here – http://www.needymeds.org/drp.taf?filename=breast-cancer.htm – it has information on programs for a number of drugs for Breast Cancer, as well as national programs that can help.
Lastly, we have a list of Diagnosis Based Assistance Programs for breast Cancer. Some of these are nationwide, while others are state specific. Their services range from medication coverage to travel expenses, tests, supplies etc. http://www.needymeds.org/copay_diseases.taf?_function=summary&disease_id=48&disease_eng=Breast%20Cancer&dx=20&drp=breast-cancer
