A member of Eliteforge telling half-truths? I'm shocked!!! :mrgreen:KIRK1ADM said:It is rather simple. The week before this debate was supposed to take place, my mother was diagnosed with cancer. The week the debate was supposed to take place was when she had her surgery to remove the cancer followed by three months of intense chemotherapy since she was asked to participate in a clinical trial by her oncologist. The clinical trial required that she receive treatments every other week rather than every few weeks as would normally have been the process for the type of cancer was being treated for.
Fortunately, my schedule is one in which I am able to adjust it and was able to provide her with support. Unfortunately that involved numerous trips to the infusion center with her as well helping her get to the hospital for the numerous blood tests, check ups and the like that seem to accompany cancer treatments.
It involved several hours at the infusion center.
That is, or was the situation in a nutshell. Unfortunately, that is not what was conveyed to people by that woman who specializes in telling fictional stories.
Seriously, I'm glad your mother is doing well. I can't fault you for "running away" in than instance.
