Prostate Cancer treatments
« on: September 28, 2015, 01:48:04 pm »
Hello, everyone! It’s very nice to meet all of you. I’m 63 and am about to begin some prostate cancer treatments. The doxorubicin they’re prescribing me seems manageable price-wise. They’re telling me that I should also look into Viagra to go with the doxorubicin. My issue is that I’m not making a lot of money, right now, and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to how I can save some money. Unofficially, my Dr. suggesting looking into alternatives such as “generics” and gave me some reassurance that Canadian pharmacies might be a good option but I’m very nervous about getting into something I know nothing about and risking my health. Does anyone happen to have any insight about this, or has anyone ordered from any of these sources? Please let me know as soon as possible. Feel free to message me privately if you prefer that to posting publicly. Thank you so much for your time, support, and allowing me to join such a great group of people for my own education.

Welcome to the forums Joseph. I moved your post into its own thread so that it can get the attention it deserves. Please let us know a little more about yourself … Are you HIV positive ?

sorry  to hear  about the  Prostate  treatment...been there  but  went  thru the  "radiation"  treatment    not  chemo....   did  discover a  great  Pharmacy  that caters to  people  with  HIV  and other  disabling conditions    ...very  cost  efficient   they  sell the  generic  "Viagra"   for  just a few dollars  a month  vs  typicaly  hundreds of dollars   the  Pharmacies usually  charge  (  quote  from Kroger  Pharmacy  for  same  script  was  $650)   paid  $3.50   for  30  capsules  of sildenafil  20 mg  they are a national  chain  look for AVITA drugs  in the local  area....usually in a  warehouse  type place  low  overhead  no  fancy  buildings

hope  you  find  something to help ...
