Contact drug manufacturer and request a compassion review based on financial need. Check the internet see if there maybe a foundation that may help you. Ask your doctor to contact the company for you, to aid you.

Go to the Zytiga website they have a program that for a nominal fee will enroll you in a program that will provide $12,000 per year in money to be used to purchase Zytiga. This drug comes from speciality pharmacies. My cost to insurance is $8,500/month.

My zytiga cost is quoted at $9,000.00 a month. Over $1000.00 after insurance. The patient access network picks up that cost. Call these people and see if they can help and if not they may be able to suggest a non profit that will. Your doctor may be able to suggest who can help too. To help most organizations will require a statement showing you need help. I believe it was $51000.00 or less income a year.
