Chemists, how mush do they know?

So I've got tongue cancer and my check out date is supposedly January(guessimate I'll beat that easily) , anyway I have to go to the chemists so often is a joke, please believe me. I can't eat solid food so I'm on 6 bottles of Fortisip energy drink every day, this is fine, got used to it completely. So today I popped in the chemists to get my usual 2 trays of Fortisip (which is a total of 48 bottles) and I stood at the back as usual waiting to be called. The lovely lady chemist called me over and asked me would I prefer strawberry or vanilla  and I  very respectfully put my hand over my mouth just incase I dribble or spit accidentally and say that it's ok and not to worry because I cannot taste anymore and she said ok then and everything was fine picked up my Fortisip and made a quick stop at the Hot chocolate shop and drove my wonderful self home. My question(title) is my Palliative nurse calls tells me she has called the the chemist on many occasions to see if the pain meds will be waiting for me and she must have to tell them my name and that she's my palliative care nurse.  So I guess they know I'm dying or I look so good and dateable(if I keep my mouth shut) that it's to silly to even think such a thing. I know what my money's on.  I have to go because I thing I'll faint if I don't get a very large Hot Chocolate.
