free neupogen ??

[orphanedhawk]

Does anyone know any programs for those of us who are low income and  without insurance  to get free neupogen?
I'm preparing for tx, the second time around. Interferon is easy. Neupogen is another story.
Last time my nurse found free samples of neupogen for me. This time,that's not an option.

I've checked with the Safety Net Foundation but it's more provider driven. I'd really like to have everything in place before I take that first shot.
Any ideas gang??

Thanks in advance.
We will persevere!

Thanks, I've been so busy, moving, setting up for tx, trying not to go crazy.
Right now I'm at the library, no internet yet in my new abode, but I'm working on it.
Hugs to you as always.

I'm still working on the neupogen dillema. I'll let you guys know how it works out.

oh
I hope you find a way.  I didn't realize that was how the Safety Net worked.  I may need to know this information to help my brother if he ever decides to treat, so whatever you find out, I am interested.

Thanks,
I'm trying to deal with them ( saftey net) and may get it that way. The problem is they generally work with the provider not the patient. My hepatologist doesn't distribute meds at thier office, actually a clinic at CPMC. (I don't have any other doctor.)
I'm going to talk to Walgreens which is connected with the hospital and go from there.
Somehow I'm still sure that I will persever and it will all work out.

Keeping focused on both the details of everyday life and compassionate loving kindness keeps me in a good frame of mind:)
