Temodar info needed

Sparky McGowan said:

Hello, all, I'm new, here, and certain that this sort of
question has come up before, but bear with me. My brother-in-
law's money has run out, but the programs that we hope
will finance the co-pays for his Temodar therapy for
brain cancer have not yet kicked in. At this point, we
don't know if he will be accepted into the assistance
programs at all!

So, I've been seeking out a less expensive source of
Temodar, his major chemo med. The US online pharmacies
charge at least $1800 for a 5-tab bottle of Temodar 250
mg. In April, my BIL will need two of these bottles.
Medicare covers 80%, but he hasn't got enough money for
the 20% co-pay. Any advice? Anyone know where I can get
this med for less? Is the overseas/Canada route still a
viable one? How does that work anyway? The manufacturer
says that they will not assist with paying for this
med, either.

God bless you all and thanks in advance for any help
and/or advice.

Sincerely, Sparky

Hello Sparky, Unless someone more knowledgeable replies, the
only way I know of finding online pharmacies is Google (or
any interenet search engine) search
groups.google.comadvanced searchOpen ↗ and typing in the
words Canada and pharmacy AND in the either/or box temodar
temodal I did that and saw some for 1649.95 and 1700.00 BUT
I don't know anything about co-pays or how the pharmacies
handle it or which pharmacies are reliable (for product or
delivery) or what form of payment or paperwork they need.

I'm posting the following in case others are interested

Have you tried applying at Schering's commitment to caring
site? They have an 800 number.

What is a real shame is that in the richest country in the
world's history, in so many situations if a person becomes
gravely ill, their only alternative for getting adequate
health care is to spend through all your family's assets as
quickly as possible and then throw yourself and your family
on the supposed benevolence of a multinational drug company.

We need universal health care now - not Star Wars or
Mars missions.
