Hi N, I too have kept information from my family. I did this because they had dealt with enough, I didn't want to add more stresses to their lives, this may be wrong but I didn't want them to worry needlessly, I would do the worrying and tell them when I knew more. I wanted to be normal I didn't want everyone treating me differently, at times I just didn't want to think of the may be's and could be's. Pathology and tests take days and weeks to get results, so why have everyone worrying. My children don't agree with this because that is what families do, support each other. As a parent no matter the age of our children we still want to protect them and we only do this with the utmost LOVE.
So hang in there N, be patient and just be there, it may just take time.
Regards Michelle
