Could someone that has taken the drug, Revlimid, tell me more about the cost of it. My mother is 78 years old and has had MM for 2 years. She has bee treated only with dex but now her protein levels are going up and they want her to add Revlimid to reduce the proteins. She was quoted $9,600.00 for a month supply. Is that correct? My parents can not pay that much for the drug. Does anyone have any suggesions? Please help! I am not ready to let her go without giving all that we can give to fight MM.
My husband has just completed his 4th cycle of revlimid and it seems to have stopped the progression of his MM for now. Without cancer insurance I don't know how we could have afforded it. I have the toll-free number of the pharmacy in Raleigh,NC where we get the revlimid from. You may find that they have some financial help. The number is 800-850-4306. Best of luck and I am praying for your situation
