Does anybody have any suggestions for funding to help pay for tarceva.  Had chronic Disease Fund but that ran out.

Raceray,

You can call Genentech (they manufacture Tarceva) and ask them if they will provide Tarceva for you free of charge on a compassionate basis.  The request might carry more weight if it came from your doctor.  My sister had breast cancer but no insurance; her doctor was able to obtain a costly drug for her on a compassionate basis from the manufacturer.  Unfortunately, she passed away but it wasn't for lack of the drug.

Good luck.
