So found out Shane’s insurance denied yervoy and we expect them to deny the keytruda as well. My insurance doesn’t cover keytruda and still pending a decision on yervoy. Neither drug is funded in Ontario so it’s not looking good for switching to immunotherapy. I guess he will have to stay on the braf and mek inhibitors even though he’s only had a mixed response with progression to the combo.
It really is true and possible to receive either one of these drugs at no charge.
Check it out.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Charlie S
