I would take him back to the doctor who diagnosed is cancer and ask them for another referral to another oncologist . did you ask his primary doctor for the meds to get you threw until you can see a new oncologist. The other option is to take him to the ER .
I hope things get better for the two of you .

It is so hard to wrap my mind around this. I can't imagine a doctor being so cruel as to refuse to treat your husband. I agree with Avis and go back to the doctor that diagnosed his cancer. The Hospice usually can dispense drugs (through doctor) and I am curious what she says about this. No one in this country should ever have to go through something like this. I am praying for the both of you and hope this gets straightened out. I am hoping someone can give you more information.

God Bless,
Tim
