" I am so thankful for the Co-Pay Relief Program. I don’t have the money to pay the co-pays for my medications … may God bless your foundation as you continue to support people in need. "
Jane | Multiple Myeloma" There are a whole host of worries, fears and emotions associated with a cancer diagnosis. There is also an overwhelming financial impact. I am so thankful for the financial assistance. It allows me and my family to focus on other things, thank you. "
Steve | Cancer Genetic And Genomic Testing" …The cost of the drugs I am taking is phenomenal, even with insurance payments… it is virtually impossible for a normal person of moderate means to be able to pay all of the costs personally. I’m not sure what happens if you can’t! Fortunately I have not had to find out because of generous support programs like the Patient Advocate Foundation. With your help I have been able to take treatments that are providing me hope… "
Harriet | Metastatic Breast Cancer" This is the second year that your foundation has been so gracious and generous to grant me financial assistance for the co-pays associated with my multiple myeloma…Thank you so much for your gift, support and assistance. God Bless. "
James | Multiple Myeloma" 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… "
