Talking about new diagnosis, treatment

Always do what feels right for you. I told everyone I felt needed to know - immediate family including my 88 year old mother in a nursing home (with the encouragement of staff to do so), work boss and colleagues, friends. Told my neighbour and found out for the first time that she was a 10 year survivor - which I found really reassuring, had no idea! It just seemed easier to get it out in the open for me - then other stuff would not be a surprise. There wasn’t too much stuff affecting others as it turned out. So for me there was a slight issue of gently reminding that I was still in the zone - a bit of scanxiety, some very annoying side effects, still the nagging thought of recurrence. I think I have managed a pretty good job of putting it all in its place but you do cross a line - it can and has happened to you. That said, I have had an overall excellent 7 years with no evidence of disease, wouldn’t have missed it for quids and am optimistic about more. Best wishes.
