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. 🙄

  • 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.
  • That's terrible @"Patti J"  hope you will be okay until they get it in.   
  • 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! 
  • No. It is ordered through the hospital where I did my chemo. My oncologist forgot to order it. 
  • 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?
