Richards Zytiga(CANCER) Medication

Those of you who know us know that Richard Tillis is the hardest working 75 year old you've ever known.  He is a retired City/County Manager and  a retired  licensed Contractor and Home Inspector.  He obtained his BA when he was 54 and his masters in business two years later.    He has always been generous with his many talents and willing to help anyone in need.  His business goals was to always give a fair price for good work. 

Richard was diagnosed with Prostate cancer in 2010 and had it removed in 2011.  He has been on Lupron since then.   Recently his PSA  has increased again and his doctor has prescribed a chemo drug called Zytiga. 
Zytiga is a tier 5 drug; what this means is we have  to meet a co-payment of $4,950.00  to bridge the Medicare  "gap" to get to the catastrope stage where the drug will only be $400.00 a month.   He was suppose to start taking the meds in December but because the co-pay is so high and the cop-pay starts over January 1st, we have decided to wait until the first of the year to start meds.  His PSA as of 12/21/16, is 0.16.  We will be opening a special account to deposit any and all donations made for the Zytiga.  

Please note that I have researched co-pay assistant foundations and manufactuer discounts to no avail.  Because it is the end of year everyone is out of funds.

It saddens me that a life saving drug could be unobtainable not only for Richard but for so many other people out there.   Why is that? 

Any help you can give would be appreciated as this is a life threatening cancer for him.   It won't cure him but it will prolong his life and his family needs him here as long as possible.

Thank you all for you help and or consideration to this cause and may God bless.
