Tykerb for Stage IIIc?

Hi Rupali,

My oncologist quoted my the $9000 as price per month. I emailed GSK, and they replied saying they couldn't help me. I will call them next week.

Hi Connie,
I just got a call from Tykerb cares and they confirmed the price is USD 3100 per month and no Patient Assistance Programme is availble for STage 3's and most insurances will deny it.
So you will have to pay it out of pocket.

Hi Connie,
Tykerb cares called me today that the maximum price of one month supply of Tykerb cannot be more than USD 3625 and lowst USD 2900
SO you need to check why your onc said 9000

Hi Rupali,
I'm definitely checking with my oncologist about the discrepancy in numbers. I also will followup with Tykerb cares. Thanks SO MUCH for your help and information. My husband and I think $3000 a month sounds like a bargain compared to the $9000 number. Neither of which are we able to pay. I still want to know if there are any stage IIIers on Tykerb now, even with having to pay out-of-pocket.
