THIS IS WRONG
I am well and truly pissed off.
i had a lump removed from my crook arm last thursday by my cancer surgeon who gave me a script for keflexin if it got inflamed as its my right arm and no lymph nodes...

That is all so crazy! I have been fortunate so far to not have needed any urgent attention but what you are going through is just wrong!
I had a similar issue with my GP about getting flu needles - she was so apologetic - rang me at least 6 times. The front desk often have no idea. I've worked out with her now to ask her to call me - I then seem to get squeezed in. If the front desk had their way - it would be a week. Yes OK - I'll plan that chest infection for a week's time thanks!
It's not quite the same but my eldest daughter developed Croup recently - I was in having chemo and she was unwell - they told me there were no appointments for 3 days - she then got a chest infection - again no appointments for a week! This at a surgery with 10 drs. So much for continuity of care!
I have been fortunate with my specialists - My surgeon has given me his mobile number and my oncologist returns her pager calls quickly at any time. It's just not good enough though that the continuity of care isn't there.
