Hello forum friends,

before 3 years a non-small cells cancer was discovered in my father's lung. Now after 3 years the cancer seems to win, the only way to save him from death is an unending supply of a medicine named iressa.


Till not long ago the medicine was distributed for free as a part of a clinical trail but now days it costs 3000 dollars

if you have the medicine iressa and don't need it please donate it to my father as it is his only chance to survive.


Please help me save my fathers life.

Iressa
Get in touch with astra zeneca and tell them of your father's situation and that he was part of the trial. They have a patient assistance program.

Sorry if this is the wrong area but my sister in law has been diagnosed with Lung Cancer...She is only 44 with a young family...The Iressa seems to be helping but it is giving her terrible facial problems.

As anyone else suffered with this or found a way of easing/stopping the blotchy skin.

Any ideas would be appreciated as she does not want to leave the house and it is affecting her moral.
