      This is a very important post. I lost my husband to leptomeningeal disease from melanoma last month. I am looking to help someone truly in need of tafinlar and mekinist. It can save lives, it just couldn't for my husband due to how his disease progressed. I have meds left and I am not just throwing them away. Help me everyone to help someone else.

      Please respond if you know of anyone.

          Check with the oncologist office where you went. They may or may not be able to assist. I know really they’re not supposed to accept meds like that but I also know cancer doesn’t play fair and sometimes we have to play dirty too.

          Thank you for wanting to help someone who may need these drugs but who may not have access due to insurance problems, etc. I would look to be offering the same thing if I was in your shoes.

                Hi,

                Sorry for your loss.

                I am currently using both meds and they are working great.

                When I run out in February, refills from medicare will cost $thousands.

                I would greatly appreciate any you can send.

                Bill
