hi everyone - I recently transitioned from ibrance and exemastane to Faslodex and Perjeta Herceptin injections and now I have a lot of unused and brand new meds that I want to donate. Unfortunately nobody that I have asked (breast cancer society / oncologist/ community organizer friend ) knows of anywhere . These are not cheap especially for ppl out there with no insurance. Thoughts??
Thanks so much.

Look up Sirum.org. I have sent drugs there. Only cost is $10 for shipping and so very worth it! Good luck.
Pre-pandemic, I went to spend the winter on the beaches of Mexico. I was stuck there during the pandemic. All flights cancelled. So I spent a year on the beaches while everyone else up north was on lock down. 
Luckily for me, before I left, some of my cancer buddies here in Canada had given me their a few extra boxes of Ibrance they had stopped using. Also when I was in Mexico, a girl passed away unfortunately and her partner gave me her leftover boxes. So I made it through the pandemic without stopping treatment. So I would tell anyone considering travelling, or spending the winter south, to take you up on your offer, just in case.... Thanks for sharing your meds.
I give them to my oncology pharmacist. She is then able to pass them on to patients in need.
Ask your oncologist. Mine took unopened meds to give to patients who may have run out.
Maybe someone on this site can use them.
o gave my package to my doctor. They should know who needs them.
My oncologist is also happy to get unopened meds. He gives them to patients whose insurance have large co-pays. Also, if there is a low income medical clinic in your area they may take them. I have given other meds to one here. Blessings and good luck on your new medication. Hannah
Hi Lily, I’m curious if you’re in the US or another country? I’m in USA and my oncologist said she couldn’t distribute my unused meds to other patients for legal reasons - everything has to go through the prescription / insurance process and be sent directly to the patient. A visiting fellow from Israel mentioned that in his home country he used to keep extra meds in his desk drawer and just hand them out!
I am in the US. Blessings, Hannah
Not all oncologists take them. Mine doesn't. One of her three nurse practitioners does. I slip them to her. The other NPs say - oh, no, not legal, we can't take them.
In that event, that place you can mail them sounds good, or someone here probably can use them. They should write you via chat.
I am on exemestane, but can get it for very little and require a particular generic. The other generics made me ill.
I donated to Safenet here’s the link- safenetrx.org/individual-do...
Hi Georgelila! At Duke where I go there is a Pharmacy Tech who helps with med related issues, files paperwork for patients requesting financial assistance for their meds, etc. and that’s who I would contact. Just posting here may also reveal folks who would be happy to take it. I’ve seen that in the past. Fortunately I receive my Ibrance for free from the Pfizer Together program. I have to reapply each year as long as I’m taking it but what a lifesaver, literally! I’m wishing you the best with your new meds and hope you are able to donate the others.
try to give meds to oncologist.
in NJ some cvs stores have drop off boxes for unused medications. I would give them a call
When I was first diagnosed, I wasn't willing to wait a month to apply to Pfizer and get Ibrance free. I wanted to start treatment that day! I got a month's supply from a nurse (with name of patient peeled off). So it is not just people who have run out or can't afford, but people who want them immediately.
considering i can't get Ibrance covered anymore - i would be interested if it's the same dosage
Please message me. I have one cycle left of 125 mg
hi! I messaged you
thank you everyone who replied! My onc amd NPs are very conservative so no luck there. Some great recommendations here . Love to all ❤️❤️💕🌸🌼🪷🙏
When I was switched to Verzenio the pharmacist wouldn't take my Ibrance back. They stated once scripts leave their business they will not take them back even if unopened due to potential tampering.
More meds
Not where I expected to be
Those women where it spread to their liver??
Changing Meds to Xeloda/capecitabine
