I’m very interested in how you found the grant to help with your deductible. Could you send the link or tell me how to look this up myself? With January fast approaching and my daughters fourth round starting the 2nd, I would love to find out this information.
Thank You in advance.

Hi Jessi's mama, welcome. I believe your question is for @gingerw. I'm tagging her to make sure she see's your post.

May I ask more about your daughter? Is she having chemo treatments?

@jessismama Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! I'm glad you have found us, and trust you will read stories of inspiration and ideas.

My chemo is Revlimid, which carries a $3000 co-pay each month. I went through my cancer center to place an application for financial aid for this medication, and they "shopped" it to the manufacturer. I had to provide tax returns and proof of income.

Also, the following websites may be able to help you:
chemocare.com
cancer.org
cancer.net
It's tedious, can be overwhelming, and frustrating, and exhausting, but worth looking into.

What type of cancer is your daughter dealing with, if I may ask?
