I forgot to mention, I am now sitting here with a swollen, lump in my armpit on other side of surgical site. I am trying not to panic. Also, my margin zone was positive, I decided not to do the hormone therapy.

By 'positive', do you mean the margins were not clear of cancer cells? [My margins were 'negative.' That is no cancer cells detected aka 'clear.']
Can you now get good care? A friend of mine had full cancer in Toronto, starting in 2020, but maybe that was because major medical centers in large cities had to handle cases when people had no services locally.
I hope you can get good and reliable care now as cancers hard enough to deal with under the best of circumstances. I'm someone who missed a routine mammogram during lockdown and wonder if a tumor found in September, 2021, would have been found in 2020 when I would ordinarily have had the mammogram.
