Where are you located? That's going to make a difference what's available in programs. Are you located in the United States?

Noo I am from Hyderabad in India

Oh I see, I don't know if any resources available to cancer patients in India. I know the health care system is different from the United States which is where I am from. Do you have any health insurance? I do know sometimes you have to pay cash in advance for medications or treatments. Isn't there a national government health care system?

I am sorry it that the treatment is so expensive. Can you contact the manufacturer? Is it Merck ? Sometimes they have compassionate allowances for patients. You are a wonderful daughter to help her and look for solutions.

Most pharmaceutical companies offer patient assistance. Here in the US the doctor’s office helps you apply but if your doctor doesn’t do that, it shouldn’t be too hard. I’d call the company and ask for patient assistance. They can provide a form for you to fill out.

All the best,
