Big hospitals often misplace referrals.I've learnt the hard way and now I always ask for the referral in my hand and then personally take it to where it needs to go.We are all different but with each time I had breast cancer,I wanted surgery straight away - get cancer out of me! The first time I waited 2 weeks and the second time I waited 3 weeks.I can understand your concern but I guess it's a longer wait if plastic surgeons have to be co ordinated for reconstruction.The plastic surgeon will probably go over your options ie. expanders for an implant later or a diep or tram flap or other.Reconstruction is something you can always do later if you are worried about the operation date dragging out.Is your visit to Brisbane soon?
