Thank you for sharing. As it would not be enough to deal with cancer, patients are their families are now under stress due to drug shortages as well :-(. It seems to be a global problem - I know that shortages of antibiotics hit Europe this winter as well, not sure about shortages on some other drugs, mentioned in the article. I do hope that something is being done on highest levels to bring things under control!

Thanks for sharing. It angers me to be so heavily dependent on other countries for daily necessities. We were on our way to be self reliant, and perhaps even be exporters of things we currently import. (Yes, that includes gas & oil), but the people we sent to DC to "represent Us" have failed us miserably. Since January 2021, we've have shortages of Everything, we've had chaos in the skies, National Security Breaches, War, a 10 fold increase in crime, and sky high inflation. But Thank God we don't have a man In The White House who uses abrasive language, and wants to Put America First!

I don't think your political comments are appropriate here.

I don't ignore what's going on in our country and our world. But I don't spew venom on people in a cancer forum.

in reply toHikerWife

I stated facts, I did not spew venom. if you're offended by facts, I'm sorry.

Not what you're looking for?
