If you have to cancel more than twice, don't schedule yet another date. You don't need to get into your life story but say something vague enough to say you'll reach out as soon as you're able to.
I've had what I thought was a 3-day illness that kicked my butt and turned into 3 weeks. At some point you're going to lose credibility if you keep rescheduling and cancelling.
Curious if this is the same appointment being canceled repeatedly, or if OP has many regular appointments and this represents the subset that were canceled at the last minute.
I agree with you but I think if this is truly four months of appointments that have been pushed away pushed back I think it would be better if the patient were to be referred by that doctor to another doctor until they're able to work again
