Lost drugs

I ran out of my main chemo drug a couple of weeks ago.  It is complicated.  The federal government is supplying it on compassionate grounds.  It is sent to the Agency but they can't dispense compassionate drugs.  They walk then down to MacDonald 's Pharmacy.  Last time, they called when it arrived.  I warned my oncologist that I was running out.  She was to order the next 3-month batch.  I had to go in to sign a permission form and the secretary said not to worry.

I called the Cancer Agency pharmacy today and hey didn't know what I was talking about.  The MacDonald's pharmacist knew right away what I waiting for but didn't have the pills have left a message with Dr. Geddes but probably won't hear anything until next week.
