Disease/diagnosis: Prostate Cancer
Thank you so much for advocating for me, to obtain medications that I so desperately need. It meant the world to me that you did this for me and my family when I felt I had nowhere else to turn.
A patient called a patient advocate regarding his oral chemo medication. He was originally enrolled in a philanthropic aid program but was denied due to a new lack of available program funds for prostate cancer. He informed the patient advocate that he only had 10 days worth of medication left. After the call, the patient advocate searched for new options for him in the Atlas platform, found a free drug program for his medication and immediately submitted an application.
The next day, when she called the program to check on the status, they were already in the process of approving his enrollment! The patient was absolutely over the moon and could not have been happier. The medication was working well for him, and he was so grateful that we were able to figure something out so quickly. And a day later, she was surprised and thankful to receive an edible arrangement from the patient with a personal note!
