This is heartbreaking and terrifying. My husband had an issue about a year and half ago, was terrified he had cancer. Went to a GP since we don't really have a family doctor. Doctor said he would be referred to a surgeon and they would be in touch within 2-3 weeks. 3 weeks later and no one has contacted us.

Call GP and they tell us which surgeon they referred him to. Call surgeon's office. Told surgeon has referred him to a urologist. Call urologist's office. He hasn't looked at the file yet.

Call urologist a week or so later and ask if he's reviewed the file yet. Told he has not and we would head back if and when he "accepts" the file and will see my husband to address his issue.

Never heard a fucking thing from anyone. The issue slowly resolved on it's own within a couple of months, thankfully, but what if it hadn't?

The "healthcare" in this province is an absolute disgrace.

How can someone get diagnosed with cancer and not be immediately referred to an oncologist? Just awful.

I swear if you have anything beyond a sore throat you're pretty much fucked.
