Whoa! My Lynparza cost right at $15,000 a month.

49. So sorry 🤗🤗🤗 😢

It is insane and criminal that this can even happen. These people are crooks and criminals of the worst kind- who exploit sick people who have no choice. There should be controls on all hc costs etc.

I hope you find a way to get it paid for if you lose your insurance. Why are you losing your insurance? Definitely look into the whole medicaid route too.

I looked it up and something at the link talks about financial aid foundations, I don't know if this could help you. I am sure you probably read this already but I will link these just in case they can help you. I think the second or first link specifically has info on help for non insured patients from Astra Zeneca:

Who can apply?
People without health insurance
Medicare Part D and/or B recipients
Those who have recently experienced a financial crisis
Residents of the United States
Eligibility rules apply, please call an AZ&Me representative for more information at 1-800-AZandMe (1-800-292-6363).

In a much more minor story, I have been on Tymlos for the past 2 years or so after a spinal compression fracture. At first the copay was $25. I still got the company copay assistance and it was free. I knew that would not last because I have been through this before.

Then about 3 months later, the ins tells me the new copay is now $787! That is just the copay, for a one month pen. It is injected daily. I still have the copay assistance and it is free.

But I live in fear one day they are going to bill me that copay or thousands more etc. One month they messed up the billing and I was billed that copay- I had to call several times to get it straightened out. This is simply an injection pen for small dose abaloparatide- synthetic parathyroid hormone- which in small doses stimulates bone growth for those with osteoporosis. There is no reason for these prices except greed and criminality. It has to stop.

I have had severe hives to the point I had to get epi pens now and have stopped tymlos for now to see if it is involved plus I need a break as it was already causing a lot of other symptoms which were getting harder to tolerate.
