Hi Marcia

Is there any way that your current doctor can either give you a prescription for a 90 day supply OR maybe you can talk with him about the move and when you get there, you can call him to call in a prescription to the pharmacy you picked out. I know this can be done and this can also be done across State lines too.

Where are you going too (just curious) - back North?

Mornin' Becky,
We are headed to the Tampa area.
We (husband in Long Beach,Ca and me Jersey shore) are beach/ocean people. I know I will feel better if I can get back to the sea. He is already employed there so I am trying to get another leave from my current job, do a transfer and keep my benefits (not sure if they will do this yet).
I will call my Onc office and see if she can do as you have suggested. Thanks!
Marcia

Most Walgreens and CVS pharmacies will fill a script anywhere, just act like you are on vacation!
