Anyone with BRCA 2 mutation taking Olaparib?

My daughter is finishing her last chemo infusion and will start taking Lynparza. She has learned that the costs is $5,000 a month AFTER insurance. She is being enrolled in copay assistance which will last for 5 months. Is this a case of your money or your life, and then when one runs out of money, they just die? Is this how this works?

This is likely not helpful due to how rare the disease is, but in the unlikely event your daughter was undergoing chemo for acinar cell pancreatic cancer, the NIH clinical trial for that disease is still looking for volunteers. This is what I was told on my last visit to the NIH. The Lynparza is free of charge if she is accepted into the trial.
