My husband and I are both on Medicare. He has been diagnosed with multiple myeloma. The drug Revlimid has been keeping him in decent shape, but it costs $18,000 a month. I am a retired teacher and he is a retired business person. We are comfortable, but by no means able to afford that amount. Suggestions please.
Check out NORD (National Organization for Rare Disorders). Search there for your husband’s disease.
Also, www.rare diseases.info.nih.gov and then GARD (Genetic and Rare Disease information center.
I'm not computer-literate but I did find Multiple Myeloma on the second site I listed above. At least I know it’s on there.
If you call for information you may have to leave a voice mail. They will get back to you. I found them very easy to work with.
Blessing to you!

I would also ask your husband's oncologist for suggestions. The medical pros may know of sources that we don't.
