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 /...
Hi H_M_A,
welcome to this forum of wonderful support.
There is no right or wrong way of telling people. Just do what’s right for you as everyone handles things differently.
My husband and Itold our children first which I found the hardest as would everyone else that is in this exclusive group.
In my instance we told family and just a few close friends through messenger, so I could be telling them whilst I was wiping away the tears. I just asked them not to visit me until I was ready. It was nice to have the well wishes and the positive thoughts that I had received.
One thing I’m learning in this journey is to accept help if people offer.
Be kind to yourself, we are all here on this roller coaster ride together.
We can do this!
Sending hugs your way 😘
