Costs of the CLL drug Imbruvica

I was diagnosed with CLL 5 years ago and for the last 2 years I’ve been on a drug called Imbruvica. It has worked wonders on my white cell count and I’m doing great on the drug so far. Unfortunately, I will be going on Medicare soon and I just found out the cost of the drug thru a part D plan! It’s $150,000 a year! I’m trying to find sources for financial assistance to help with the gigantic doughnut hole I’ll fall into.   

 

I’ve already talked to Diplomat pharmacy that currently supplies me with the drug. They made a few suggestions about foundations that are open for CLL assistance, but I was told they open and close all the time.

 

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
