Christy,
sometimes the information has to be passed on to all of the people responsible for her care. Sometimes this is called a tumor board. Since it is a medical art and not a science they sometimes have to debate the best method of treatment. The again maybe the Canadian health care system is just slow.

The reason most of us are getting 2 month check ups is that they don't feel that the cancer could make significant progress in that time frame for it to increase the risk factor (there are always exceptions). So a few days probably won't matter for a cancer that has already been there for some amount of time.

This doen't help the anxiety issue however - as others have mentioned, the waiting game is the hardest part.
