I did not realize that the word cancel was going to be the focus - I was really looking to see how often people did not - for what ever reason - go to the therapist appointment. I see skipping appointments or not scheduling the same as cancelling if one has a regular sort of therapy appointment schedule. I did not mean cancel to be at the last moment or unplanned.

The pollster does not have an easy lot.

I tended to not have appointments more because I did not go than because the therapist was not going to be there.
