Hemet Mayor opens up about Stage 4 Melanoma RUSTY STRAIT | SENIOR REPORTER

ayor Karlee Meyer of Hemet, in an exclusive interview, allowed me to conduct an interview with her about the recent discovery of two small brain tumors and how she is dealing with the situation. I was edgy about how to approach the subject but she immediately set me at ease. First of all, she is no weeping willow feeling sorry for herself, far from it. Karlee is a leader in the truest sense of the word and people love her for it. “It is what it is,” she says..“God has a plan for us all and I’m sure he knows what he’s doing in my case.” She explained that her entire life is about God’s will and she is not about to challenge that. “My faith in God has brought me the good things in my life; my parents, my family, friends, opportunities, and my pathway to a Christian existence and I’m not going to abandon that.” How did she discover her condition since there was no visible sign of anything wrong? “I went to a doctor for a checkup. I’ve had a mole under my arm for as far back as I can remember. It has never been anything but an insignificant mark. However, recently it had started to grow slowly, but getting larger. The doctor cut it off and did a biopsy and one thing led to another and discovered two melanoma’s on my brain. One .3 cms and another much larger one.” Of course, there was the initial shock and adjustment. Did she suddenly try to deny the existence of such an unexpected malady? Absolutely not. “My first thoughts were thankful ones that it was discovered before it got out of hand. I am a rational person and my faith helps me react sensibly to any kind of situation. I

They were shocked as you can imagine, but I assured them life would go on and I’d be getting proper treatment.” She has the kind of family that sticks together like glue - one for all and all for one. Karlee is a woman with a strong constitution and solid religious grounding. “I know that God has a plan for me, and I know my future is in his hands. I have my obligations to my family, friends and constituents. Nothing changes that.”

MAYOR OF HEMET
She has her ducks in order. In the rotation of her existence she feels obligated to family, friends and work. But first and foremost, she emphatically declares her devotion and dedication to God. She hasn’t stopped her work as Mayor of the city and doesn’t intend to. She has begun Immunology treatments, which has a different approach than Chemotherapy. “It works to support the immune system and bolster it in reducing and destroying the lesions.” She is a very independent lady; some say stubborn as a mule. She tries to avoid seeming to need help. “Someone is always asking, ‘can I help you?’ I appreciate the thought, but I am quite capable of taking
