FDA Recalls

I am back having chemo. It has been six weeks since my last chemo, so since the cut off is six weeks, it had to go yesterday, which it did. My blood barely cleared the requirements. I was so very sick last night. The nausea drugs that I had been taking before, Emend and Sancusco Patch have been discontinued, or recalled by the FDA...makes me wonder about the safety of those drugs that I took everytime I had chemo since April.

So I laid in a tub last night, sick sick sick from the effects of chemo. I feel horrible and the doctor was rude to me when he came in the room. First, I waited two hours to see the secondary doctor, Dr. Handifer. He came in and because I had gotten a prescription filled by a doctor 215 miles away 30 days before one time, he said he couldn't write the script for my meds because I have too many doctors. I was so upset. I told him, the guy I saw up north was a GP and was a one time doctor just for the meds, and Chawla's office told me to go there until I got back down south. He left me in the room for another hour because he had a more important patient....I guess I am not important.

Well, I have to take a shower and head back to the doctors to stop chemo.

Later!
