My wife passed away Jan 26, 2008 after a hard 13 month battle for every inch of ground. I'd not be inclined wait. Time is of the essence. There are a few top tier hospitals within the US which specialize in PC and I'd doubt you'd have to wait at those. We traveled to Johns Hopkins more often than weekly to Johns Hopkins. Near the end my wife was feeling too sick to travel such distances and we transferred near home to Hershey Medical Center. It took us 6 weeks to get in and their seat capacity to administer chemo was very limited. There is a huge difference between hospitals in the US.
