In regards to not being able to afford medications. I know here they have a support group at the center and a local transplant foundation that will help people with financial assistance if it is warranted and they can see a demonstrated or specific need - i.e. the patient can't afford meds.
The person can also do fundraising. That is what we started to do to help alleviate some of the costs of copays and stuff.
Take Care,

I hope you don't mind me asking a question on your post, but I'm curious as far as the cost of the meds. What if a person gets a transplant, but can't afford the meds for afterwards? Is there some kind of help they can apply for? Just wondering.</end quote></div>
There are programs that will help. Sometimes you can also apply for help directly from the manufacturer of whatever medication that you are on. I had been thinking about it but then I figured to leave it for the people who really need it. I mean, I do have some trouble paying for the meds but until I can absolutely not pay for them, I will let other people benefit from the help that really need it. You can always talk to your social worker or finanical counselor (not college financial aid...LOL) andthey should be able to help you find programs that will help.
My family and friends also did a lot of fundraising for me. It really helped, but it comes to a point where funds dwindle and you have none of that left. I think that all together, I have had about $16,000 raised and between travel to the transplant clinic, hotel stays, hospital bills, co-pays, medical flights, equipment that is needed after Tx (microspirometer, blood pressure machine, etc.) those funds went rather quickly and we had to start using our own money.
It is definitely financially hard after Tx but for me, it is totally worth it! I am here for my husband and son, the rest of my family, and my friends. I also get to tell people of my story and make people realize that organ donation is definitely needed out there. It is very rewarding!
