Oh dear! Ouch is right!
If it were me (and of course it isn't) I would think about what I actually wanted to say if I were seeing him. If there were something in particular I wanted to talk about, then I would try to reschedule. But if I thought it would be a fairly general session about whatever came up on the day I would probably decide against rescheduling; I would be concerned that it wouldn't be a good session.
Do you normally have good sessions just before he goes away? Or are they usually sessions that feel bad because of his forthcoming trip? Would that make a difference to your decision?
And yes, he might cancel again. If he cancelled today's appointment, what would stop him cancelling again? Unless you could extract a firm promise from him not to cancel... Might he be willing to promise (and keep his promise)?
I hope you manage to come to a decision you feel comfortable with. And we'll all be here for you.
