Hi
Yes the logistics of keeping EVERYONE properly informed is very tricky. The way I tackled it was to write a "blog" with the help of www.caringbridge.org - it's designed for sharing to many when you are unwell, not just with cancer.
I found it took the sting out of watching people's reactions, and those that wanted to know could read up on "the latest", those that weren't orientated that way could "opt out" of the blog environment. The writing process was very cathartic as well.
Also I now have a sequence of details that stay online, so if I ever need to retrace my steps or announce more information I just pick up where I left from.
there are probably other versions out there, but that was what was around for me at the time.
Good luck, and may you find a way through the maze/haze...
take care xxx
