Lung Cancer  email this discussion to a friend?

My mother has terminal lung cancer and frequently can not eat solid foods. She lives on a fixed income and can not afford Ensure. I did a search and discovered the company has a patient assistant program if your income falls within the guideline. There is a bit of paperwork involved but it is well worth the time to get the supplement sent to your loved one free. I will be glad to share what I know with anyone interested.

I have a friend with terminal ovarian cancer in the same circumstances. I'd be glad to get any info to her. Thanks.

If she needs Ensure or one of their products to drink, here is what was sent to me. I downloaded the form and filled out the information. I attached a copy of her medicare card. I went to the Mecicare site and found a section that states that medicare does NOT pay for nutritional drinks and got a copy from DHR saying her secondary insurance does not cover them either. I attached proof of her SS income. Her doctor signed the form and I mailed it to the company. They mailed the cans of Ensure directly to us

You may obtain an application for our patient assistance program by
either calling (800) 222-6885 or visiting www.HelpingPatients.org where
you can click on the link titled "View a list of participating pharmaceutical companies." From there, please select "Ross Medical Nutritionals Patient Assistance Program" that is referenced under Abbott Laboratories.

Carnation Instant Breakfast works the same way. You can call them at 1-800-422-2752 or on the web Nestle-Nutrition.com

I hope this helps.
