When I arrived at my doctor's office yesterday there was a list of chemotherapy drugs that are in short supply. I was not familar with many of the drugs on the list, but some that I am familair with; Taxol, Adrianmycin, Doxil and Navelbine were on the list. I am not being treated with any of them, thank goodness, but I worry about the people who desperately need those drugs.
