Ive been on Monjaro since beginning of March. I get it from Med Express because their medical questionnaire is very specific. It asks about Thyroid Cancer (as fo all suppliers) but Med Ex is the only supplier that ive found that asks specifically if you have a history of Meduallary Thyroid Cancer. I can reply no because I have a history of micro papillary Cancer. Other suppliers just ask have you had Thyroid Cancer and bin me off when I say yes despite there being no known link to Papillary Cancer which I had. As a result ive had to stay with Med Ex.
Yesterday I reordered 5mg again and lots of questions came up about underactive Thyroid and if I take Levothyroxine , which I do take as my thyroid was removed 12 years ago.
Im still waiting for my order to be processed. It says its still under review 24hrs later and I know usually my order is processed faster than this. I will be gutted if they wont continue to prescribe. Ive done alot of my own research and all the concerns are linked to a completely different type of Thyroid Cancer to the type I had.
Is anyone in a similar situation or found another supplier asking about Meduallary Thyroid Cancer specifically?

I ran into this problem. I have no thyroid and had radiation to kill any remaining thyroid cells. My doctor and I decided the very tiny risk from a GLP-1 was dwarfed by the health benefits of losing the weight that I desperately need to drop. In my country, that was enough to get me my prescription. We just had to push back on the dispensing pharmacist and explain the risks had been discussed.
