Orserdu

My second line of treatment, faslodex has stopped working - progression in the lungs. I might start taking orserdu if I have the mutation: ESR1. Does anyone know if Medicare part D covers this drug? Thank you, Mary. 🌺

It has the high copay like Ibrance, but the oncology pharmacy had someone help me with filling out paperwork, and I was approved to have it paid for by the manufacturer, Stemline.

That happened to me too but it wasn't the Faslodex it was the Orserdu. In fact Orserdu made it worse.Now I'm on Everolimus (Afinitor) & Faslodex. It's only been a month.

I listen to guided meditation just to help keep my head clear. Or guided healing meditation. Good luck to you.
