My insurance pays all but $20. I have seen messages where people were able to get help on the cost but i cant remember where. Search all the messages. I go the doctor for scans on 12-13-07 to see if tarceva is working for me..................good luck and god bless                               Joicie  joicie Fri, 30 Nov 2007 00:00:00 GMT I was on Tarceva for 2 yrs and my insurance co paid, I pd the co-pay of $15.00 per month.  My statements from the drug co showed that the drug cost was around $3,000. per month.  There are ways of getting it, check with the drug company direct.  Good luck  Vette Vette Sun, 02 Dec 2007 00:00:00 GMT Just thought you'd be interested in knowing that we found out that my husband will only have to pay $35 for the Tarceva.  What a relief!I guess his insurance is really great. I feel bad for those who have no assistance paying for expensive drugs.  Cropsey Thu, 06 Dec 2007 00:00:00 GMT
