Anyone can't afford Casodex?

My elderly father passed away last week (not from the prostate cancer). He
left a 90-day supply of Casodex, 50 mg, in unopened blister packs, for which
he paid about $2000.  We have tried to donate it but nobody will take it
because it's been "dispensed." (in November '05)

I would like to give it to somebody who can use it, and who is not covered
for it and really needing some help affording it. Please remove the space in
email address and email me with "casodex" as the subject line. I don't need
a life story, just a brief explanation of why you need it.

He also left stuff for diabetes, glaucoma, heart, etc. so if you know
anybody who could use Amaryl (glimipride), Cardura/doxazosin, Acular,
pravastatin sodium and Lumigan, same thing - would like to give it somebody
who really needs help paying for it.

And yes, I know this is not legal, but I think it's a shame to waste it if
somebody really needs it and can't afford it.  Please only use Casodex as
subject as I get a huge amount of spam, often from "drugstores."

I offered my left over casodex last Sep from the trial I was in and got no
takers.
I wish you better luck.

I'm sorry for you father.  And yours is a tremendous gesture.  But, very few
are going to be 100% certain you are not the DEA (even though it would be
obvious entrapment) and you cannot be 100% that the person who takes you up
on it (likely through private email) is not DEA.  The Internet is an
automatic "interstate", ergo Federal, offense.

I would love to have them.  I wish it were possible.

ROFL:)

If you knew what I did in the sixties you'd know why I thought the DEA
comment was so funny.  Why on earth would a narc be lurking in a cancer
support group?

I'm afraid I didn't clarify something so I'm going to email the gentleman
from The Valley and you can discuss amongst yourselves.

I was even going to try Freecycle, but it's against their rules too. I can
kind of see the point but these are blisterpacked and from a legit pharmacy.
Oh well. I tried.

Not the first time my father wasted megabucks on something that turned out
to be useless:)

Try not to look at it that way, Martha.  To us, the living, it does seem to
have been a needless expense but only because we, no less than your father,
think we have many days left.  Not meaning to be facetious in the least,
recall the end of the old joke, "Well, it seemed like a good idea at the
time."  Your offer was very generous and I'm sorry we live is such a
suspicious and skeptical time.  Are there no friends of yours or of your
father who would benefit from them to your knowledge?

Is there a doctor or local support group that could act as an
intermediary, to find someone? It's not like you are trying to profit
from them.

Several members of my arthritis support group have turned over
excess drugs to their doctors, who in turn use them for "samples."

Since the MD is doing the dispensing, the action appears to be
legal at the state and federal level.
