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.

Appears to be four cancellations in four months, regardless of appointment frequency that’s just unprofessional and unreliable.

It sounds like this person is going through something pretty serious, I wouldn't judge them so harshly.
