You are so right!! My surgeons assistant called me a few days after my lumpectomy to see how I was doing and to set up my 1st post op appointment. She mentioned Aug 31,2023. My husband and I go to our appointments together. I was on speaker phone so I asked him if the date was good in case he had something going on. She immediately said if I can't make Aug 31, I would have to wait until February--5 months after my surgery. We were both stunned. When I went to the appointment I didn't even see the surgeon. I saw her. Any questions I had it took her at least a week to 11 days to respond to me. You are right-lol!!! Before the surgery she got back to me right away.
