Cancer Patient Struggles to Source Lifesaving Medication Due to Shortage

NorthWestPharmacy.com has been keeping customers apprised about drug shortages. In fact, drug shortages have increased by nearly 30% recently. Everything from over-the-counter-medications, antibiotics, to cancer drugs and much more have been affected both in the USA and internationally.

With drug shortages nearing an all-time high and the FDA approving the import of cancer drugs to assist in the USA, a recent article about a cancer patient caught our attention. James Brown of Altamonte Springs, Florida was diagnosed in February with prostate cancer and small-cell carcinoma according to Spectrum News. His doctors say that the chemotherapy agent he needs is shorted throughout the USA so Spectrum News reports that he and his wife are on their own to try to obtain it.

Mr. Brown’s wife, Kate, tells Spectrum News that, “‘[i]t’s just shocking in today’s time, in the U.S.A., that this medicine is not available for us’”. But her husband isn’t giving up on locating his vital medication and the article says he “recommends to anyone that needs a medication that is on back order to try and search for the medication on the Internet themselves.”
