I have written before when we first heard about Nexavar by Bayer. I was wondering if anyone knows the cost of the drug. It was approved by Health Canada and we are now trying to get it for my husband.

The retail price for 120 pills is around $5,000. If you do not have prescription drug coverage, you can have your Doctor contact the Nexavar support team at REACH. #1-866-639-2827. Depending on your circumstances, they might give you the pills for nothing. In making this determination, they will more than likely require that you send them your latest tax return and other info. Aside from the side effects, the pill loves to kill cancer cells

I thought that was the price tag but wasn't sure. My husband has been fortunate to get on the Bayer assistance program and will be starting Nexavar tomorrow. We are very excited. Are you using it? I have read the messages with regard to it and the side effects don't sound much different than Intron A which my husband was on but kept getting reactions. So we are very optimistic. I guess the foot and hand sore are different but from reading the other messages we are prepared and are thankful for some of the suggestions we have read. So we will keep an open mind and forge forward. Thanks for taking the time to write. I have found so much good information on this message board.

Hi! Wishing your Husband good luck with Nexavar. My tumors have decreased in size since taking Nexavar. I have never been able to take a full dose because of side effects in the form of blisters to my feet and cracking skin on my hands.

My mum gets colon cancer and has transfered to her kidney. Her doctor suggest her take Nexavar. But Nexavar is too expensive for me, I can't afford it. Furthermore I can't buy it at my country (China). Could please any of your kind guys told me how to get free Nexavar or the way I can buy it. I love my mother so much and I can't lose her. I temporarily work at U.S and I tied to buy it. But failed, because I have no doctor's prescription here. If any of your kind guys know any way of how to get Nexavar, please send mail to me.

Dear all,

I am looking for Nexavar for my dad who has liver cancer. If Nexavar is sold here in Bangkok, Thailand; we could have the doctor's prescription and the policy wil cover all the expenses. Unfortunately, Nexavar is not yet sold in Bangkok, so I am looking for any possible ways to get it. Could anyone suggest me any assistant program to enroll.

Thank you in advance.

Toni
