Medication not available

Has anyone else been told that their medication hasn't been ordered and subsequently isn't available? That is what has happened to me this week. I was supposed to pick up my medication on Wednesday, but I still don't have it. I am thinking that perhaps I am cured and don't need any more medication. 🙄

Sorry, are you collecting it from a chemist or from somewhere else? If the medication had to be ordered by a chemist and they still don't have it when you require it, can you get it somewhere else?0

No. It is ordered through the hospital where I did my chemo. My oncologist forgot to order it.0

Ah! Back to oncologist then, bit daft of him! I once returned some medication (pain killers, unasked for and not required) to my surgeon after a short stint in hospital. He popped them in the pocket of his cargo pants. I bet they stayed there and ended up in the wash. Be nice if you didn't need the medication any more but best to check!0

I know that I need the medication. I am facetiously thinking that I am cured. That isn't the case. There is no point in getting upset about it. I had been to the hospital twice last week to pick it up. Hopefully it will be there tomorrow.2

Frequently.
With only 1 pharmacy in town with the next pharmacy 220kms down the road, I have learnt to wait v e r y patiently.0 -
And make sure you have 1 lot 'one month ahead', as I do wth my AIs0

Unfortunately, because of the nature of the medication, I have to wait for the result of my blood tests to find out the dosage.0

Still no medication. I certainly won't be paying for it!0
-
Agreed, but also hope you aren't risking your health without it!0

8 days later, I now have my medication. The oncology pharmacist is going to make sure the next lot is ready straight away. He was very embarrassed.3
