A wait of four weeks or more between surgery and chemo is not unusual - obviously there has been a bit of a hold up in your case which is most unfortunate but it is also most unlikely that your oncologist would create any danger in the date set. It’s upsetting because much as you may not like the prospect of chemo, most people do want to get into the routine of treatment and feel they are doing as much as possible as soon as possible. You can of course contact your oncologist and see if the date can be moved forward, but if not, best to spend the time in preparation and try and fret as little as possible. Waiting is one of the bc side effects less talked about but can happen a lot! Best wishes.
