The Ups and Downs of Xeloda PAP

Dealing with the Roche Patient Assistance Foundation for Xeloda has been a Roller Coaster ride…

First I’m “preliminarily” approved via the initial phone interview

Then come to find out that I was denied

Then I appealed

Finally I was approved

And Now…

Yesterday morning at work (Friday), I got a letter from Roche stating that they felt I should have pursued another resource for financial assistance before I went to them.  They advised me to contact Texas Health and Human Resources requesting assistance.  If I apply and I am not approved, then Roche will reconsider my situation.

I have 30 days to do this.  After 30 days, my drug assistance for Xeloda will end.

WTHeck?
