xeloda - Cancer: Breast Message Board

estaire72 · 10-03-2004, 04:03 PM

my doc wants to change my regime to xeloda -- dx. is breast ca with mets to the pleura. This medicine is not covered by my insurance and very expensive.
Does anyone have any feedback?

I am sorry for what you are going thru and think it's sad your ins won't cover it. I found the following on the xeloda website:
ONCOLINE Patient Assistance Program
Through ONCOLINE, Roche continues a commitment to provide oncology products free of charge to patients who do not have a prescription drug plan, do not qualify for government-funded programs and cannot afford their medications. Applications may be requested through the ONCOLINE Reimbursement Hotline and Patient Assistance Program.

Good Luck to you.
