Tagrisso and Hives

@mikee2all, I've been taking 80mg of Tagrisso daily for 3 years. My Oncologist referred me to one of the cancer institute's social workers who was able to negotiate a deal with AstraZeneca. Each year, we or the social worker, have to demonstrate that my family spends 10% of our net income on medical expenses. Because we do, AstraZeneca ships Tagrisso to our house for no charge.

I'm only 63-years-young and still working full-time, so this is my best option. Your circumstances may be different. I know AstraZeneca also has other programs. I hope your Oncologist can help you find an appropriate one. Best of luck to you!

Thanks so much for your input. It gives me hope.
Who should I contact, AstraZenica?
My spending on Tagrisso alone is 45% of my yearly income. I am to see my Doctor this afternoon, I will run it by her.
