Hi everyone, just wanna ask do any of you guys have experience on acquiring generic cancer meds from overseas particulary India or Bangladesh? My mom has lung cancer and she was taking a drug called Tarceva but unfortunately it doesn't work anymore due to mutation of cancer cells. The suggested solution by doctor is to take a new drug called Tagrisso. However, the price of this drug is hefty, it runs about 13k ~ 15k ringgit per month. Obviously, this is not a sustainable solution due to the cost.

I am aware that, to my knowledge, some patients with financial constraint have looked onto India for cheaper alternatives, namely generic anti-cancer medicine. In our case, the generic meds for Tagrisso is Tagrix. The problem is that I believe the custom will most likely seize the meds if I have it shipped into our country (not approved in MY). Therefore, bringing the meds back personally seems like our last resort. However, we would like to gather as much information as possible before making a decision. If anyone here has any info please kindly share it to me, thanks in advance any input is greatly appreciated!
