How do you tell people and what do you tell ?????
Diagnosed today with Stage 1 Cancer, and already had so much good advice from this forum, my brain hasn’t stopped and now have no idea how to tell family, friends, work - do you do a Facebook status /...
It just depends on what you are comfortable with I guess.
My hubby did the ringing on the day of diagnosis. He let my mother know, (she arrived in 10 mins with diazepam bless her) our children and my best friend. I was on leave from work at time coincidentally, not a nice holiday present. Once I was a litle more composed I went in to work and told my boss and the lady I job share with who promptly went and told everyone else so that took care of that problem. :neutral:
I told a couple of our long standing clients so they would know why I was walking around lthe property looking somewhat zombieish occasionally
I facebooked right at the end. About 2 days before I finished radiation. I only really did that as I was so happy to be at the end of treatment and wanted every one to know. Blew a lot of people out of the water. They had no idea, even the ones I see reasonably regularly.
