Kinoti,
Bristol Myer Squibb are the manufacturer of Opdivo. You may try to ask them for free drugs out of compassion. They may direct you to their team to apply for the drug . If they response favorably , they may require your Doctor prescription. Good luck

Thanks a lot Carlos. It is rare to get concerned people like you.

Hi @Kinoti,
I am saddened by your condition. I wish I had the answers or a magic wand to make everything better for you. I want you to know that you have always been in my thoughts. @PuallyHBV and I talk about you whenever we speak. If I may ask, where are you receiving your treatment? If not in Egypt, please try and see if you can do that. They are the only country in Africa to have a better system and experience dealing with HCC. I am surprised that not many countries are making any improvements in this area giving that hepatitis B is endemic in Africa and kills more people each year.
Try reaching out to the people in Egypt and see if they have hospitals or NGO’s that can be of support to you. As a society, we need to do better. So far, we are not doing enough to change the tide. Lets remain hopeful, I understand that might be hard but take it one day at a time. Best, Bansah1
Dear Basha

Hi @Kinoti,
I am not happy reading about your current condition. It saddens and breaks my heart knowing that you are suffering because of where you are, lack of money, and lack of better treatment options. I will remember you in prayers, my friend. Do not give up; although it might feel like you are alone, know that you are not alone. We are all rooting for you to recover soon. Keep us posted when you can. Bansah1.
