BRCA1 / Category 3 / Waiting list...is this normal?

My surgeon said to me, whether you carry a gene or not currently your treatment is just the same. 
So ovaries are gone which is great.
Remember this is prophylactic surgery and at this time doesn't pose an immediate risk. You would still be under breast surgeon and oncology review so it's not like you aren't being reviewed.
But it wouldn't  hurt to make the phone calls you suggested  and also ask if replacement surgeon has been hired to cover leave.
