Your appointment with the oncologist has been cancelled.

So we were on the road again at about 2:30pm, destination Montreal for meetings with the oncologist, radiologist and the geneticists.

About 45 minutes into the ride Pace called her Mom to let her know we wouldn't be there for dinner. From Pace's reaction, I thought that someone close had died.

France, Pace's Mom, said the Ontological Gynecologist's secretary had called 5 minutes earlier and cancelled tomorrow morning's appointment. "You'll need to reschedule, he's out of the country... The next day I can schedule an appointment for you is February 1st at 8:30am.

Let's think about this. This appointment was booked at least six weeks ago and the doctor is "out of the country," and it will take another 3 months to see him. Either his secretary has an inefficient calendaring system or he never checks it.

Pace felt there was no reason to carry on so we turned the car around and headed back into the west to Toronto. Pace was very upset and somewhat discouraged. I was in an angry place and unable to do anything about it.

Maybe tomorrow will be a better day.
