Consider Esbriet or its generic form; Genentech has a program that might help you afford the medication—we're working through that, as well. If you have Part D health insurance, you might be able to get as far as the doughnut hole and then move from there . . . We earn too much for complete compensation, but not enough to afford it, so we're looking at all kinds of options. See if there is a research institution that might be able to help. We are close to two teaching hospitals and have benefited tremendously. You can always get a second opinion from another pulmonologist practice, too, and see what whoever has to say. Don't leave this up to the "normal" pulmonology group who might not have connections with those research institutions.
