Last month I had a bre@st biopsy and my T knew that it was pretty stressful for me, both anticipating the procedure and thinking about the possible results. I called and left a message with the receptionist for him and he didn't return it (the day of the biopsy). Three days later I called his cell phone directly and asked why he hadn't returned my call. He never got the message--the receptionist was a substitute, and apparently she lacked some skills. He was very apologetic about it, and assured me that he would have called me right back if he had known, and was in fact anticipating that I would call him.

I wish I had called again (or called his cell phone directly, which he had given me for weekend use). But I survived it and I am healthy and now it's just all in the past. But if I had to do it over again, I would have reached out again.
