A friend suggests it is not right that I'm not angry with the t but I'm not. I don't like that she's cancelled, but she's sick and how can I be angry at someone for being sick? If I am sick and can't go to work I don't want my employer to be angry with me because I'm sick.

ECHOES, that's how I would react too. I would not be angry and in fact would be very reasonable. Stuff happens, people get sick, it's not personal. But inside I might be thinking, "I deserve this. He doesn't care enough to show up. I'm not interesting enough that he wants to keep his appointment, etc." But I definitely would not be angry. I don't do anger very well--sometimes I think that is a flaw, other times an advantage.

It is making me think that if I can go 3 weeks without seeing her, then maybe I don't need to go at all.

That is indeed a thought-provoking question. Maybe you can raise that with her next session and see how she responds. At the very least, she will see the effect her absence caused.
