My Oncologist told me when he gave me the news that I have Active Multiple Myeloma, "The one thing we don't want you to worry about is paying for treatment." There is a Patient Advocate at my cancer center who takes care of all the financial grants and aid. By the next day I had a grant and haven't had to pay for much at all since October till now. They can help you out with this. Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help. I added you to my team. Hang tight, we've got your back. ๐
JoyLagasse where did you get an advocate?
Have you checked in with the Patient Advocate about applying for a grant to help pay for your treatment? First day, when my Oncologist diagnosed me with active Multiple Myeloma, he told me that the one thing they did not want patients to worry about was paying for treatment. I met with the advocate, and within 24 hours, I had grant money to pay for my treatment and haven't had to pay for anything yet. See what they can do for you.
Thank you. We've been blessed that his treatments are covered. The oral medications he takes was only $42 for 90-days.
