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.
