Wow! I think doctor's have terrible timing but perhaps yours just didn't want you to break your arm. Perhaps all you need is some stability - don't we all.

Things will be okay. It might be harder than you would want but whatever. Just whatever. You will be able to do it. You know you can. Don't worry. And if you are, call, call,call. Someone is on duty. Those oncs get paid ALOT of money for someone to be on duty. YOUR onc gets paid alot of money to be on duty. Call him. He gets paid alot to be there once for you. I wouldn't hesitate. If he has an email, email him/her. Why should you be the one who has to think about it all weekend. Call (but at a decent hour since we are all nice people here).
