Hmmm.....family drama. One thing I have learnt through the years of having a very large extended family is that if you tell someone not to say anything you can bet your ass they will.
There are two family members on my shit list, one brother in law and one aunt. Somewhere along the line they both found out. The aunt I especially didn't want to deal with. She had BC about 4 years ago. It didn't make her a nicer person and it didn't make me want to be her best friend when I was diagnosed. She rang and rang and face booked me and messaged me. I never replied to anything. I did find out who told her. That person was told what I thought and explained to me how the conversation had come about.
After I stopped fuming about it I kind of figured that it really didn't matter. What difference did it make? This was now part of me and them knowing didn't change anything. These people are not part of my life, I still don't speak to them and I don't want to waste any of my time and energy worrying about it. I guess it was just the principle of the matter that ticked me off.
Try not to stress too much about it @"Kiwi Angel" you have too much else to concentrate on at the moment.
