@Kalli   I hope all tests come back great and you're way to recovery...haven't read through the entire thread.

I agree that if someone doesn't call first, I don't open the door pjs or evening gown. 

I think maybe they did contact you in the emails and with no response they checked on you to see if you were OK. 

I will add that our financial planner checks in every other month to see if anything has changed with our "budget" or want to invest differently. He also comes with an updated report on our financial standing which is much appreciated. BTW, he does call first and set up a time when we can both meet...usually over lunch and his treat!

***I'm clueless with money. investments and he has my trust left by my folks, so I trust him to give me monthly statements, too and explain everything. He was my folks' planner as well.

DH is a CFP, but I wanted an outside firm to handle MY money.

@RetRN, I do not answer my door. The times we are living in we never know who is at the door. I do not just drop in on people. Can't you just call on phone?

I understand you wanting to vent, as I have been on the same journey. Unfortunetly, I don't think everyone understands how overwhelmed you are feeling trying to deal with all you are going through. My own experience, I find it difficult to truly concentrate and make good decisions. Also, I'm sure you are feeling tired.  

I'm sorry you had to experience that.  I would check with his employer to find out if it was legit. Prayers that you receive good test results, and for comfort and strength. Blessings for you for the upcoming Holiday Season.

I'm sorry for all that you're going through. 

Perhaps, he was concerned with all the unanswered emails and was simply checking on you?

Wishing you the best and a positive outcome in the next few weeks @Kalli .

I would not have answered the door.  Maybe the company was concerned about you since they haven't heard from you. 

[Kalli]

Thank you everyone for your understanding comments and for your very positive support of me through this challenging time! Your kind words mean the world to me! ❤️❤️❤️

I did receive an apology from the company. That was nice. I'm putting the incident behind me. Staying hopeful about good news from my upcoming tests and hoping to move forward now.

As some of you may remember, I've been going through chemo treatments for the last 4 months. Tests coming up in the next few weeks should determine whether my treatments are done. Keeping my fingers crossed.

It's been a long journey that started with the diagnosis in May, then surgery, radiation and chemo, bloodwork, ct scans, ultrasounds. Been 6 months of this.

I have remained almost exclusively at home to prevent infections and only ventured out to renew drugs and pick up some groceries. VENT: Today someone from my financial planner's office came to my house unannounced to see if I want to make a change to a small account I have with them. They sent me emails which I ignored because I won't make any decisions while having "chemo brain".

This account is a small amount of $. Why would anyone think it's ok to just show up at someone's house like he did?? I'm in my pjs, have a beanie on my head cuz I'm bald, and wouldn't go out to talk to him. In addition I was finally getting over a bout of food poisoning from a salad dh brought me on Saturday. 

I will never understand why anyone thinks it's ok to stop unannounced at someone's house. I really think it's disrespectful to assume someone is ok with this. Vent done. Thanks for listening.

Honestly, I HATE that anyone has the nerve to just stop by ... whether I know them or not.  It's just ****** rude.  I would have called the financial planner and told them what happened.

On the other hand, perhaps this was an assigned task that was on their list and it needed to be done before year end.   Perhaps rather than ignoring them, you could push back any discussions with something like "call me in four months" or whatever makes sense.  Just a thought as maybe it was a regulation issue that requires staying in touch with clients?  

Anyway, I hope this little vent helped you shake this off.

Fingers crossed that you're doing better ... each and every day.
