Doxil

I have been reading that Doxil and other medications are in short supply. Has anybody experienced a problem getting Doxil for multiple myeloma treatment?
Thanks, Stan

Hi Stan,

In case you haven't seen it already, there was a news article here recently about the Doxil shortage and what is being done to make sure it doesn't negatively influence patients. Here's the article:

I also found this additional article:

Have you had any problems getting Doxil for treatment?
