The cost of meds was ridiculous. She was able to file for Social Security for him (because he can't work now) and Medicaid and that picks up the majority of his meds. Johnson and Johnson (you know like baby shampoo) also offers grants to people who can't afford the cancer meds. He qualified for one of those but I have no idea how they did it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6274657875094301215.post-1965370299969554572010-09-16T11:34:24.028-07:002010-09-16T11:34:24.028-07:00Hello from a new follower of your story.

After a little research I found that you can get cheap meds at Wal-Mart - so what cost us $300 at one pharmacy, only cost $75 at WalMart! I'm not sure how it all works out but it was the same stuff... maybe worth looking into? Either way, I'm relieved to know there was a silver lining with the out of pocket max.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6274657875094301215.post-16727195202528121042010-08-18T06:18:16.419-07:002010-08-18T06:18:16.419-07:00Thank goodness for that WHEW - to say you needed i...Thank goodness for that WHEW - to say you needed it is an understatement.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6274657875094301215.post-41419248324352610902010-08-18T05:32:50.508-07:002010-08-18T05:32:50.508-07:00Don't go on the ride alone.
