Name: Abigail List on Sep 15, 2011Comments: This is a tragedy and a travesty. As a woman currently undergoing treatment for ovarian cancer I am horrified that my doctor is unable to provide me with the exact medicine I need. Human lives are at stake. Politics of any kind have no place here. Please take action immediately before it is too late. I implore you not only for myself but for all women in need of these medicines RIGHT NOW.Flag

Name: Merle Miller on Sep 15, 2011Comments: As a patient I was coming to the end of my course of treatment. I was informed that I would not receive my last dose of Doxil and found that very discouraging. It was hard to believe that this could happen in this country.Flag

Name: Ellen L. Dominguez, Ph.D. on Sep 15, 2011Comments: To date, in spite of being enrolled in the manufacturer's program designed to ensure availability of Doxil to patients, I have been denied treatment twice due to the shortage. Action must be taken. I cannot fight my recurrent ovarian cancer with promises that the drug will soon be available. I, along with many other women, need this drug.Flag

Name: Karen DeMello on Sep 15, 2011Comments: There is no excuse for these shortages, and at a minimum, the manufacturers should be required to notify doctors immediately. I was started on Doxil weeks after the company knew there wouldn't be enough available; why didn't my doctor know?Flag

Name: Cheryl Y. Trepagnier on Sep 16, 2011Comments: The US pricing structure for generic injectables must be reexamined. The generic drugs we count on are unavailable in the US, but available in Europe, where they are sold at a higher price than the US allows. The US shortages affect people of all ages with a variety of cancers, even children! This is shocking and unacceptable and must be remedied.Flag

Name: Mary Isenberg on Sep 16, 2011Comments: I have already missed the date for my treatment and I am to see my Dr. next week to decide how to proceed with treatments. Hopefully, we will receive the drug before then. I have to drive from NC to AL for treatment (5 hours). I am registered with the drug company through my Dr. at UAB Birmingham. I am told we are on the list and they are manufacturing the drug and are going down the list. Unfortunately, we were one of the last places that ran out of the drug so we were not put on the list until Sept. We are probably way down the list. Anything we can do we are willing to do. Some patients have gone out of the country to have treatment. My Drs. want us to use drugs approved by the FDA. This is such a dilema and it makes us feel so helpless as we fight this horrific disease. Thanks for your help in trying to secure Doxil for us. MaryFlag

Diane Nathanson on Sep 16, 2011
Comments: I was on Doxil for my second recurrence this past summer. It was working, and I had very few side effects. The drug ran out, even though promised to those who were already on it. After two months of waiting, a CT scan and bloodwork showed the cancer returned worse than before treatment started. I know have to start a new treatment, including radiation and a new chemotherapy drug which I do not know it's efficacy, nor it's side effects for me.Flag -

Name: Meadow Stafford on Sep 16, 2011Comments: My mother was getting treatment for ovarian cancer with a drug that is now unavailable. She had to start over with another drug, that may or may not be as effective, not to mention the related stress she has had to endure. Having cancer is bad enough. It would be nice if drugs that are working would remain available to save lives.Flag
