Hi hendrix big huggs its a crazy world with how to manage diagnosis and treatment.
Perhaps choose one sibling as the one to communicate info to the rest of family...i even wrote out info for sibling to tell my older parent
Yes keep it simple...say now is not the time to keep asking questions..as you dont have all the answers yet.
Say...I will need your love and support as soon as treatment surgery starts
say you need space..a quiet time to deal with the next few weeks.
I am someone who has tried to be very calm and my way was not to tell a lot of family..this has worked for me as i have not had to have lengthy chemo or rads treatment
Be firm in asking for space and time to deal with this diagnosis...treat yourself as well.. massage and mind matters relaxation web sites are a valuable tool to engage with in your own time. All the best Bright
