So Much Money in the Drawer

[KevinCLLITP]

after all of this I find myself with a half sleeve of Ibrutinib and a full sleeve of the same, value about $17k and 3 weeks worth of Acalabrutinib worth about $9k in my drawer. because they were prescribed to me but are untouched by me, I don’t think I can donate them to another worthy person or organization. If anyone knows how we can get someone to be able to benefit from these I am all ears!

in many states its ok to donate unused chemo pills that are not expired. its not permitted to take payment for them though cancer.net/blog/2014-04/wha...

I had the same problem. The pharmacist at my oncologist's office said there isn't any options for this. She gave me a package that would hold up to 40 pills, that would make them inert. Then I could just throw the package away. Hated to do it, but I couldn't tolerate the Ibrutininib, so no choice.

I have a sealed pack of 28 420s and my other pack has sealed 14 420s

Hopefully someone who needs them will private message you and you can work out a deal/arrangements. 💕

It’s not permitted to transfer a personal prescription to another person I’m afraid and it’s actually against the law in the U.K.

They’ll need to be returned to the pharmacy though I can fully understand the frustration and waste involved.

That's a shame.

Call the Pan foundation or leukemia lymphoma society. They might be able to help.
