I'm sorry, I cannot answer that , but if you were provided with contact for a health care provider ,I'd use it. We in Canada are in Health Care Crisis mode. I will research it until I find an answer for you - first I will need to sleep off some medication -Thank you SO much , for reaching out !

I understand. Sad to say America’s healthcare system is going in the crapper real fast. It took me almost 2 months to get a biopsy. I called around to 12 different surgeons and breast care centers. Every single one of them was 1.5 months to two months out to get a biopsy. Then I had to wait almost 3 weeks to see the breast surgeon. The other surgeons were booked out farther than that for a consultation and now I’ve been waiting almost one month for my surgery and this is at a top-notch Cancer facility Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida. But all the other doctors that are standalone surgeons not associated with a big cancer center like Moffitt they are pushed farther out. My husband’s pulmonologist told us last week that he’s absolutely petrified for our community in southwest Florida because we do not have enough hospitals, we definitely do not have enough hospital beds, and just getting a basic doctor appointment to see your cardiologist or your primary care doctor or your lung doctor when the snowbirds are not here in Florida is about 3 to 4 weeks out and when the snowbirds come here, you can’t get in to see a doctor at all. I’m just laying here in bed waiting for August 29 to come around so I can have a mastectomy and cut out this nasty cancer and I feel like I’m just about in a third world country at this point going through what I’ve been through since January of this year regarding my left breast. Absolutely disgraceful. But that’s the politicians in this country for intentionally running this country into the ground.
