Cancer Patients Received Watered Down Chemo Drugs

Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne says her government will try to find out how more than 11-hundred cancer patients were given watered down chemotherapy drugs. Some were on the lower doses for as long as a year. Wynne calls it a very worrisome situation for the patients and their families. Five hospitals -- including London Health Sciences Centre -- are contacting patients who received the too-low chemo doses to tell them to contact their oncologist to discuss treatment plans. Ontario N-D-P Leader Andrea Horwath says she thinks the incident rocks people's trust in the health care system and in the distribution of drugs in Ontario. Meantime, two law firms, from London and Windsor have teamed up to launch a class action lawsuit.
