Jacob's Journey

We've had a few people ask us about the shortage of methatrexate, a chemo drug that Jacob takes regularly. Several news sources reported on it about two weeks ago. The shortage is reportedly over and it never affected Jacob or his treatment. No doctor, nurse or anyone at the hospital ever mentioned it to us which leads me to believe that it was not yet worrisome to them.

However, I still thought I'd post some information for those who might be interested. Don't feel obligated to be interested, but I do know a few people who might like some more info.

Here's a link to a letter from the Children's Oncology Group, stating that the shortage has been resolved.

And this is a PBS NewsHour video on the subject (it's about 7 minutes long).
