Prostate Cancer Survivors

 

YANA - YOU ARE NOT ALONE NOW

PROSTATE CANCER SUPPORT SITE

 

 

This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer.
There are only four rules:

  • No fundraisers, no commercials (although it is OK to recommend choices of treatment or medical people based on your personal research; invitations to participate in third-party surveys are also acceptable, provided there is no compensation to YANA);
  • No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
  • No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
  • Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making

Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.

Since this is an International Forum, please specify your location in your post.

Cost of PCa drugs in Canada about 1/2 of USA costs, examples:

This is off the internet on a website I found from Google, prices are in USA dollars and shipping is additional, they will ship anywhere.

Just so you see how reasonable everything is vs. your local U.S. stores or doctors office (LOL):

Lupron- 3.75mg 1 inj. $199.00; 3 inj. = $525; 7.5 mg 3 injections= $899
Zoladex- 3.6 mg 1 = $245; 10.8 mg 1 = $695
Leukine 500 mcg/ml 10x 1 ml= $3435 (ouch)
Nilandron 50 mg = 90ct= $229
Ketoconazole/Nizoral generic 200 mg= 100 ct= $129 (cheap)
Zometa i.v./Novartis 4mg/5ml 3x5 ml= $1395
Zolendronic acid (generic) 4mg/5 ml 3x5 ml= $1349
Fosamax 10 mg 100 ct= $59
Flomax .4 mg 30 ct= $40
Flomax (generic) cr400mcg 30 ct = $25
Proscar 5 mg 112 ct= $185
Generic Finasteride 5 mg 112 ct = $72
Emcyt/estramustine 140 mg 100 ct= $300 and 200 ct = $550
Estradiol patches Vivelle .025/24 hr. 40 ct= $150
Climara patches generic 50 mcg 8 ct= $30
Avodart .5 mg = 90 ct = $145
Bicalutamide (generic casodex) 50 mg = 84 ct= $125

These prices were like maybe one year ago and in US dollars for the public, you can google search Canadian Pharmacies.
