“I am so thankful for the co-payment assistance you offered. I was hospitalized, diagnosed with cancer, have been the grateful recipient of eight blood transfusions and just completed round one of chemotherapy. Due to my limited income PAF’s support will definitely help me cover some of the monumental costs as I fight this disease.”
“I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancerous tumors in my brain and my lung, all terminal. For several months, until my coverage kicked in, I had no insurance. The bills skyrocketed and with chemo and radiation treatment I could barely think straight. My PAF case manager was an angel who walked me patiently through the time-consuming application process, never wavering in her efforts. I can’t find enough words to thank her.”
"I’m 66 years old and I was diagnosed with stage IV bone metastasized prostate cancer in July of 2014. I have been through Chemotherapy, Radiation and number of chemotherapy oral drugs. My doctor has told me that he has run out of options. I found a new hospital and they had a lot of treatment options and was able to help me with resources to help me cover the cost of treatment. PAF was one of the resources, they helped me fill out the application and was able to tell me right away they were able to give assistance with copays. This new found treatment and assistance from PAF gave me and my family new hope to keep up the fight on cancer."
