I know it's been almost two months since I posted an update on my cancer journey. I didn't have anything new to report. I'm still doing maintenance with Keytruda every 6 weeks and seeing Dr. Cohen . Last week I hit a bump in the road. I won't go into details on what happened, but it was enough to get me to the Emergency room. It was Thursday night when I got there, and I finally was sent home on Monday. If I hadn't insisted on the hospital contacting my Surgeon, Dr. Hackett I would still not know what caused me to be there. "Too many cooks in the kitchen spoils the broth." In this case too many Doctors and no one comparing notes with each other. The end result is, Now I go for radiation treatment every day for 3 weeks and that should do the trick. Apparently, what happened to me is very common with my type of cancer. To say I am relieved is an understatement.

On another subject, I decided to push myself to be more involved in my community. About a month ago I was asked to volunteer to be on the board of directors of my Communities Residents Association. I would have declined if I had known how badly that would turn out. I thought I was doing the right thing by offering my experience as a past President and Treasurer. If you've ever been involved in local politics or even like me, a community association, you probably know how tenuous it can be. I am ashamed to admit, I gave in to my emotions and voiced a few things on Facebook I shouldn't have. I jumped to a conclusion and may have accused someone wrongly. I'm still not sure about that but I will give them the benefit of the doubt. I did apologize on Facebook. Here's where it gets interesting, I felt an apology face to face was appropriate. Big mistake. Instead of accepting my apology and moving on, these two former friends were childish and hateful and bullied me. I should have known you can't reason with Narcissists. I don't feel a sense of loss losing them as friends. I know I tried to make amends and they will be judged not by me but by our creator as will I.
