Hi @Vonniejoy,
Welcome to the forum lovley. The rollercoaster that is breast cancer.
As far as telling people goes everyone has different feelings about it. My husband told my immediate family, I told the children. A few days later I told my boss (I work in a surgical ward) she told the lady I job share with and she went and promptly told everone else......problem solved.
I didn't really have a lot of problem talking about it as it allowed me to control the conversations and squash any unwanted advice on eating Kale and exercising to cure it. :neutral:
Although I am not on the clinical side of things I have worked in this ward for 10 years and seen a lot from the other side I guess. Does give you a different perspective on things when you return to work let me say.
All the best lovely. Stay in touch.
