Navigating a prostate cancer diagnosis can be difficult on multiple fronts. We have collected a list of resources to help with the costs of co-payments, treatments and medications. The resources below are national in scope. You should remember to contact local organizations such as hospitals and support groups; they will have information about additional state and local programs.
Watch this webinar to learn more about options for financial support. Dr. Alicia Morgans speaks with social worker Max McMahon, LICSW, and oncology nurse practitioner Stacy Walker, CNP.
