I would suggest you also speak to your onc as sometimes there are programs in cancer centers where you can apply and become eligible for financial assistance. Cancer Care also has financial aid programs!

I would call Pfizer and ask them they have so much assistance available

The ibrance letrozole combo wasn’t working for me so I had to start real chemo. I have a sealed bottle of ibrance that I don’t know what to do with. I had already requested the refill when I got news my cancer had spread to my lungs. I would be glad to ship it to you. It’s 125 mg.

Hugs, Stacy

Sisina, your oncologist should have a financial person that could check into patient advocacy help. They will pay what your insurance doesn't pay. Also, Pfizer will send it to you absolutely free if you qualify. You have to send proof with your tax returns that your household income does not exceed 100,000.00 annually. I hope you get help.

I don't pay anything for my ibrance. Between insurance and Pfizer $0.00. Check with your oncologist about it.

Yes, call Phizer! They are great. I've been on it for almost 2 years and have a high deductible insurance plan. They pay co-pays up to $25,000 a year for this drug. If you cannot pay for it at all, they will give you assistance as well. Call them ASAP. The drug combo of Letrazole and Ibrance is working for me at this point and I hope it works for you!

Big Hugs and best of luck!
