I have just heard from Karen Furlani, NP, that Dr Edge has "penciled" me in his schedule for Monday, Feb 23. This is not his surgery day normally, but as I explained to the nurse practitioner, I was promised by Dr Edge that this error made by their department to not deal with everything in the biopsy on Feb 5, would not result in unnecessary delay in my treatment.
Which is why I was upset when told that I would not be booked for surgery until after the results were in from the biopsy and it takes several weeks to fit me in to the schedule, after that. It appears Dr Edge did not forget his promise, but apparently no-one else knew that, including me. There still could be a change again, if I need mastectomy after all, as the surgeon who does the reconstruction is not available that day. But I guess I'll have to cross that bridge if I get there. At least I have a tentative date now.
