@A MyBCTeam Member I want you to check out the list I posted awhile back. There are several organizations that offer free grants for assistance financially. It's best to apply now at the beginning of a new year. They are allotted a limited of funds per year and they run out rather quickly, so go ahead and contact them now. Remember, you don't have to pay back a grant. Every little bit helps!! Good luck!!👍🤞😊
Hi Terry, it's not often that men are diagnosed with bc, but even more rare that it is HER2+. So, please feel free to reach out to this HER2+ bc sister anytime, My diagnosis was at age 62, Stage 2, Grade 3 (aggressive). I had one tumor 2.7 cm, and clear lymph nodes. My protocols were surgery, chemo and targeted therapy. The protocols are long, it took a little over a year to finish all the infusions, Once you get past chemo, it starts getting easier.
Ask if there is a financial officer at your center, I was able to qualify for co-pay assistance for my drugs, with you not working you may qualify for more than I did.
Asking at the center may help you connect with any local resources. Our center always had ongoing fundraisers- the funds were used to purchase gift cards for gas, and groceries. etc.
Check with to see if you are eligible for short term disability benefits, you can call Social Services and schedule an appt- it can even be an appt by phone.
Keeping you in prayers as you navigate this challenge! Hugs!
