    I don't take Ibrance, but my mom does. She has no co pay because she gets it through the cancer center's pharmacy. It has gotten her closer to stable than anything else she has taken. Good luck!

    No co-pay for me either. I get it from the cancer center pharmacy.

    Can't tell you the results because I'm only on the third cycle and we don't know [yet] how it's working.

    Pretty much everyone is eligible for copay support from pfizer so your copay should be no more than $10. This is one website to get the card that gives you the discount.

    https://www.pfizercopayone.com/

    If that doesn't work, poke around because there is another website that gives copay assistance for Ibrance. But the link above worked for me.

    Does the drug work? There is a thread Pablociclib 2015 where people discuss their outcomes. Its a new drug. It takes 3-4 months to see an "objective outcome". Many people people are just starting it. I am only beginning my fourth cycle. But you will find a few people been on palbociclib for several months and more on that thread.

    It is chemo. Don't be fooled by the term "targetted therapy". This stuff can be tough and even letrozol is no walk in the park. Alot of people are getting a good result with relatively low side effects. Some people are getting good results but the side effects are hard.

    I've had good early results, but for various reasons doubt I am seeing the impact of the Palbociclib yet. I attribute most of my side effects to letrozol and some of the complementary medicine. Living without estrogen is hard. I don't think I am having any serious palbociclib side effects.

    People can be more helpful if we see your diagnostic history and treatment history. You need to enter it in your profie AND make it public. It took me a while to figure out that second step is necessary.

    Good luck.

    I paid nothing. Massachusetts is a parity state, so all treatment are covered, even when self-taken. If you are on a Government insurance program, it is a very different thing. There is no parity, no discount card, and the cost is almost prohibitive for most of us.
