Review for PAN Foundation, Washington, DC, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and treated with 45 treatments of radiation.
This was successful in getting my Psa number down to an acceptable number.
I also was getting monthly shots into my stomach to get testosterone levels down.
While the shots themselves were not painful the resulting swelling and tenderness last from 7 to 10 days every month.
My DR. wrote a prescription for Orgovyx a daily pill that does the same thing as the shot, but no adverse side effects.
My part D insurance approved it for me but it was still too expensive for me to pay.
The radiation group Genesiscare connected me with PAN and they we extremely helpful in getting my application submitted.
I was approved for funding by Pan but they didn’t have the funds available at that time but said that I would be put on a waiting list.
Approximately two weeks later they contacted me and said that they had received additional funds and that I would be able to get the prescription cost fully funded.
I have received 2 prescriptions so far and won’t know until May to see if I need the pills after that.
PAN has said that I can reapply if I need to continue the prescription after my allotment of funds is completed.
There is no promise that they will have funds at that point but it’s nice to know that they will try.
I am grateful to PAN for their support and their help with my prescription. It has made my life so much better.
Hopefully I can get off the medication completely and that PAN can help others that are in a similar position.
Thank you
Daniel Scherrer
