About Chronic Pain

Tens of millions of Americans suffer from chronic pain — pain that lasts longer than six months. Chronic pain can be mild or excruciating, episodic or continuous, merely inconvenient or totally incapacitating. With chronic pain, signals of pain remain active in the nervous system for weeks, months, or even years. This can take both a physical and emotional toll on a person.

" It is with enormous gratitude that I accept your most generous donation… this indeed helped offset some expenses, the cost of which seems to rise daily. I take great comfort in knowing that your group is out there to assist those of us who have had the misfortune to fall ill to the mysteries of cancer… God bless your wonderful organization for all that you do for so many people in need. "

Sylvia | Breast Cancer

" Without your Co-Pay Relief Program how would we get treatment? I hadn’t realized this assistance was available – I’m grateful! "

Janet | Breast Cancer

" … I know there are others who need financial help just like I do. Thank you PAF for caring enough to help. "

Tony | Chronic Pain

" The appropriate place to start is to express my appreciation for your participation in my cancer fighting efforts. Upon hearing the expected cost of the [prescribed cancer fighting therapy] my immediate thought was that cancer would be a contributing cause of my death since that level of expenditure would never fit into a retired teacher’s budget. Therefore please accept my sincere thanks… "

Ray | Multiple Myeloma

" Without this assistance, I would have to choose what to go without to ensure that I had money for my treatment. Thank you! "

Roberto | Prostate Cancer

" I was grateful to be approved for help from the Co-Pay program. Without your generosity, I wouldn’t have been able to afford my medication. Thanks to PAF I am continuing to fight my cancer… "
