@doreenseal, good to hear that she has appointments lined up with the right specialists in the coming days. I agree with @cctoo. Many pharmaceutical companies have financial assistance programs for their drugs. Here's information from the makers of Eliquis https://www.bms.com/patient-and-caregivers/get-help-paying-for-your-medicines.html

You can get a cuooon for Eliquis for a few months free as long as you are not on aPart D prescription program. I got 3 months free two years ago. Some people keep renewing. I am picking up my script tonight from express scripts and with my very good union plan it is $138 a month.

Latest update on my sis. The PET scan came back clear so that was wonderful news. But, the dr said she may have a smoldering multiple myeloma. She is scheduled for a 24 hr urine test, more blood draws and a bone marrow biopsy. These will all be occurring in the next 4-6 weeks. I hope the add’l tests will provide a more definitive answer. They will continue to monitor her MM. I know 2 ppl that had MM. 1 of them lived a few years with it being monitored and then it reared it’s ugly head and she was gone in 8 months. The other person wasn’t that lucky. She battled it fiercely from the beginning and died within a year too. It’s a tough disease.
