Joe,
I have a friend who has been fighting ovarian cancer for about 10 years. She started Chemo again in July with the drug Doxil which is in short supply. Treatment was supposed to be once monthly for a period of several months. She had the one treatment and has been unable to receive more treatments because they can't get the drug. They have not offered an alternative drug and she is panicking.
My friend is in her late 70's, past the age of 76 which I understand that in the Obamacare policy that anyone over the age of 76 will not get cancer treatment. Is this policy already in effect without any of us knowing it, and if that isn't the case, why have they not offered an alternative treatment until Doxil becomes available for her?
I guess I am just trying to reach out to help her and perhaps anyone else in her shoes.
