Hi - Please take a look at this Web site, which offers lots of links to places that might help you pay for cancer medications. Also, please call the American Cancer Society in your community; they can help you figure out how to finance this medication. Many drug companies provide reduced-cost prescriptions, and the ACS will help you find out if Aromasin can be acquired for a lower price. Good luck - PJH

Depending on your income you may be eligible for free medication with a $82.00 month service fee, and a one time sign up fee of $25.00. Go to www.freedomathometeam.com/sherrygaebel. You can contact me with questions from my web-site. Good luck and God Bless you.
