NF, I don't think you are a jerk. You told her you were going to be gone. Perhaps the cancer is affecting her memory? I have a friend with stage 4 cancer who goes off on people for what she considers a slight, when it's really that she doesn't remember they did call/come by.

By the way I LOVE your username!
