How Can I Get My Father Onto Nexavar?

Hi Keith,

My husband has fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma and is being treated at Univ. of Michigan.  His physicians there did the initial resection and when it came back after 4 months he did 7 weeks of chemo and radiation.  Half way through treatment they decided to put him on Nexavar also as a adjunct therapy.  They were able to get the prior-authorization approved in a couple days and then we were slapped with a $2,000 copay!  We applied shortly thereafter for the REACH program through the drug company that makes Nexavar and were approved for 95% assistance of the copay.  So now we're only paying $49 a month for the maximum dose, 800 mg a day.  Here is the info for the program: http://www.nexavar.com/wt/page/reimbursement

I hope this helps you out, good luck with obtaining Nexavar.  My husband tolerates it well enough, only a little soreness on the bottom of his feet. 

Aimee
