I’m sure most of you have heard about the chemo shortages?! 😡 If you’re anything like me you want to do something!! An oncologist (Dr. Tplensky) posted some helpful resources online and I wanted to provide them here for us all. She is encouraging everyone to write their representatives. Sample letter: https://drteplinsky.medium.com/chemotherapy-shortages-carboplatin-and-cisplatin-are-in-extremely-short-supply-f3a96e1d26d1 House: Senate contact: https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm House contact: https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative Let’s do this!
