Info on Financial aid from Orgovyx after 2 month free trial and a question about how to finance Zytiga

[PBnative]

I am in my 2nd month of the 2 month free trial . The Orgovyx rep on the phone said I could have qualified for free Orgovyx on an ongoing basis if the MO had filled out a different form .She said Orgovyx would use just my Social Security statement not our adjusted gross income ( which would have counted me out since I married well .😎)

Orgovyx is responsive on the phone . I need to call about how to find the correct form in the website .

Any ideas on financial aid for Zytiga ?

You could try INDIAmart. On your mobile phone for zytiga. The brand is the same as here in the US.

The generic name for Zytiga is Abiraterone. Zytiga is expensive but the generic is the same product. I found this site which has great prices with coupons but haven't tried it since I'm in Brazil. Check it out as it may be the solution! goodrx.com/abiraterone

Good luck and Happy holidays

We were able to cover all costs of Abiraterone/Zytiga with the help of Healthwell Foundation. I believe it’s funded by the pharmaceuticals. Apply early as they run out of funds pretty quickly. The hospital’s pharmacy hooked us up (Northwell) but you can go directly to them. There may be an income cap for recipients.

Thanks but I checked and it said PCa category “closed” with a waiting list

If you are a Viet Nam veteran, get a PCP in the VA, then get PCP to refer you to a VA oncologist. Agent Orange exposure should qualify you for any “approved” cancer meds that can be justified for your disease stage.

For assistance in navigating this (and in receiving a disability rating that qualifies you for a lifetime pension due to PC caused by Agent Orange exposure), find the Department of Veterans Affairs in your state. The DVA can submit a claim on your behalf, then the VA “should” start that pension.

There may be similar programs for veterans of other wars besides Viet Nam. Not sure. Regardless, the VA “should” be able to in fact pay for any and all of your prescriptions, cancer-based or otherwise.

I’m using a few quotes around various words here since I’m sure the situation will vary from person to person. PM me if you’d like clarification.
