Mail order could work. What would work better is having your onc in Oregon call the Hawaiian onc and confer with him. That doctor might be able to convince the Hawaiian onc to prescibe asap there. It is the quickest way considering I am not even sure the mail order route would work.

Just a thought - if you can get the drugs, you might feel good enough to change treatment to Abraxane (which the Hawaiian doc wants) and it might do the trick.

I hope this helps. I am thinking about you.
