You can call the Tarceva Company at 888-530-3083 and they have a foundation that will help with the cost. They totally covered the cost for my mother. I wish you the best.

How did they help you? My mom is 70 years has lung cancer which has spread to her bones,other organs.Her Dr put her on tarceva in January 2007.She has now went into remission and the cancer has stopped growing,her blood count is finally going up and she is out of her Tarceva,her insurance is all used up just in two paying periods.She has a $6000.00 a year cap.She lives on 1100.00 a month SS and has other bills to pay and after that leaves her with about 150.00 a month for groceries.She has no way of paying for her meds,we have made several calls to various organizations for help and everyone says "Sorry" so my mom is left out to just Suffer and Die.We lost my dad to lung cancer seven years ago as well as all my grandparents,aunts and uncles.Dosn't look to bright for my spouses and I ?? If indeed cancer is hereditary.I would appreciate any inpute or resourses we could use.Mom took her last Tarceva on Friday she is now out.
