Re: AAARRGHH!! DENIED financial assistance by Tykerb "CARES & CANCERCARE

How horrible, to have to deal with this on top of everything else. So you applied for one program but you might be eligible for another and you have to start over? Does anyone in these jobs actually want to take some responsibility?

Anyway, I would go on line maybe to the American Cancer Society or the Lance Armstrong Foundation and see what they suggest, seems like they both have some strategies dealing with this.

Don't want to get people upset about the need for health care reform in this country, but this is another example.

Enjoy the wine.

If you already have not done so, assign one of your favorite nurses and keep her in your loop. She will be a contact of sorts at the doctors and will be the single person there helping you with things like this. In the meantime, your post has been forwarded by Joe so those wheels are turning. Do not give up yet, stay strong...you are going to need it when the Tykerb shows up in the mail (smiling).>>Believe51

Have you tried Partnership for Prescription Assistance?
They have a website, so if you do a search on Yahoo or Google you will find it. From there you might be able to find the contact nearest you. Good luck.
