Buscando medicamentos para la quimio [Esp/Eng]

ENGLISH

Greetings, my dear and cherished friends. May you all have a happy and blessed evening. I want to tell you that I’m a little scared but also very happy, because this week, God willing, I’ll be having my sixth and final round of chemotherapy.
So, on Monday, I had to go to the central hospital’s high-cost pharmacy to pick up the chemo medications—which, thank God, they still distribute free of charge to those who qualify.

When I arrived, I was very surprised that, even though we got there a little late, there were only six people on the list. Then a couple more people arrived, and before 8 a.m., one of the women who works at the pharmacy came out to say that the medications hadn’t arrived yet and that they had very little in stock.
She began going through the files to check whether the medications were available or not, so that people wouldn’t have to wait in line for nothing.

When that girl told me they didn’t have cisplatin or docetaxel, I got really worried because I know those medications are unaffordable due to their high cost, and I didn’t have much time to wait since my treatment isn’t scheduled until Friday. I asked her if she knew when the medications might arrive, but even they didn’t know; they told me to call in a couple of days so they could let me know if anything had come in.
But since God is always there, I immediately thought of the oncologist’s nurse—she always has medications on hand that patients who have finished treatment donate—so I called her. She told me she did have docetaxel, but she had to check if she had the full dose of cisplatin. Later, she let me know that, thank God, she did.
