Do you have a breast care nurse allocated ,to,you ? ( there’s usually one or two in public hospitals, their role to be liaison between surgeons/oncologists/radiation drs and other health team members). If there is one I’d ringing and asking them that question re when will chemo start ; is this Friday’s appointment with oncologist to go firm with chemo regime OR are they starting chemo ; and do you want /need a Portacath . Lack of Portacath shouldn’t hold up chemo , they’ll proceed without it until it’s inserted if required.
If there’s no breast care nurse I’d be contacting the hospital and ask about the onc appt for Friday -is it only with oncologist or is it with onc dept/ward for chemo.
