Pretty much as above. I got a prescription from the doc this morning for my hormone therapy, I went into 3 pharmacies and they all told me that they didn't have it & it would arrive Tuesday next week because of the bank holiday. Tried phoning the cancer team at Kings college. No answer. So it looks like I am to be without any meds till then. I'm a bit worried my testosterone will rise which is not what I want or need. I took my last Orgovyx pill this morning. 

  • Hello Hutch68,

    I'm sure others with far more knowledge will be along shortly, but to my non medically trained mind, the effects of your tablet don't end all of a sudden but rather taper off.

    2 suggestions, why not give the Macmillan support line a call or on line message to get their thoughts & ideas (they are open 8am until 8pm 7 days a week, and on the boots.com page under the prescriptions tab, they have the facility to check medicine availability option whereby you can enter your postcode & check if any is in stock at stores near you.
