Tagrisso NHS and insurance

Hi,I have just been told my insurance co. won't pay for Tagrisso after 12 months. Has anyone else had this issue? I just don't know what to do.

It's enough of a worry that the treatment keeps working and now it's going to be taken away from me for financial reasons.

Anyone with a similar issue?

That’s terrible. What insurance and where do you live?

UK. Tagrisso isn't available as first line here.

NHS? Are you in Canada or the U.K.? If in the U.K. you might get help from the Roycastle.org foundation. If in Canada I would contact Astra Zeneca and inquire about payment help programs.
