breitenr,

Thanks for the info. The cancer clinic I go to is actually pretty good about helping me with some of this. They were really helpful is hooking me up with the Healtwell Foundation who awarded me $5000 towards my Aranesp. Also, the local hospital where I get my injections has picked up the cost after the insurance that I can't afford. Right now, since my medical bills have topped 10K this year, I have no deductible until January. Then the Healthwell Foundation will pick up for a few injections, then I will be back to finding more aid. I do have a list of foundations which help when they have the money.

I did find that Amgen has a program that would have helped with Aranesp if I had no insurance, but they turned me down for co-pay assistance.

Sometimes, getting assistance for medical bills feels like a full time job.
