Insurance won't let me get refills

Is anyone else on Emends? My onc gave me this to take on the first 3 days of chemo. I take one an hour before treatment and then one each morning for the 2 days after. It is for nausea and vomitting. I am having me second AC treatment tomorrow so went to get my refill today (comes in a 3 pill packet) and was told insurance would only allow one fill every 21 days. I have treatment every 14. They don't care and since it is Sunday could not talk to anyone at oncs office. Regular price is $325. So now I'm worried that I will be sick all week. They still give me drugs through port before I start but how different will it be with out this drug? Any suggestions?
