Waiting to set up surgery feels worse than purgatory

Being your own (or your loved one’s) advocate is usually a good idea. We’d all be happy if cancer hospitals and clinics were mainly empty and everyone had heaps of time but sadly that’s not the case. When in doubt, I usually select a bit of incompetence over conspiracy. Happily I haven’t come across much incompetence. Mainly just overstretched people doing their best. That pretty well covers the patients too! Best wishes.
