Doctors, cancer patients in Hampton Roads dealing with nationwide shortage of chemotherapy drugs

It was just two months before graduating college last year when, at 22, Matt Guillotty got news that changed his life.

He'd been diagnosed with testicular cancer.

“It definitely taught me how to manage my stress,” Guillotty told News 3.

What followed was months of treatment, including four months of chemotherapy with the drug, Cisplatin.

“I remember, when I was getting chemo, it was the most volume of chemo I got was that drug,” he said.

Since February, Guillotty has been cancer free.

But now, for many still undergoing treatment, the drug that helped him is in short supply.

“It’s a scary thought that I couldn’t have access to it,” Guillotty said.
