@shelleymac I'm heartened to hear that you have an oncologist who is advocating for you. I've been following the news/crisis in the healthcare system in various provinces of Canada. I lived in Montréal for several years and experienced the provincial system at that time. Even then the waits were often long and so I asked for assistance from physicians I knew just to get those specialist referrals moved forward.
I'm not a medical professional but I do know about the anxiety of the wait. With your diagnosis and surgery and then waiting 11 weeks after surgery to meet with your cancer care team seems like a long time to me. I realize that you need time to heal before starting chemoradiation but getting that treatment plan in place soon would certainly be on your mind.
It's been a month since your surgery. How are you feeling today? Are you able to manage pain?
I send you positive energy and blessings.
