So sorry to hear you had to quit your job, but at least you are getting disability. I will investigate theSaracatinib. I’m not recommending the Ofev, we are all different, but depending on your income, income of others living with you, and you resources besides your home, Ofev could be free from the manufacturer. There are other foundations that can provide copay assistance. They commit for a year for funding once you get approved. They don’t always have money, so you have to keep trying. Weekly. If you want more info, pm me.
Also, if you have done your research on this other drug, and are willing to try it, I would touch base with your doc sooner rather than later.
I wish you all the best, and please let me know how it works out

I sent a message to my doc today. I probably won't hear back until next week but I'll see what she says. I did look up the cost of it and it looked like maybe a couple hundred dollars a month or so. So that would be a plus for sure. I'll let you know what she says and please let me know if you find any info on that drug. Thanks so much! Carol
