Telling the world
Just wondering how many people girls have told about their BC? I live and work in a small rural community and I'm a private person. I'm married with a great supportive hubby and two adult married ch...
I'm on the same page with all the ladies above.I've had bc twice and each time I waited until I knew the initial plan before I told family,friends and work colleagues.In other words,I knew I'd need surgery followed by whichever treatment was recommended.It also gave me a little time to get my head around it.I find most people are upset for you,want to hug you and want to know what will happen.We are all different and should go with our gut what feels right for us.I was honest and open about it and everyone just got used to the idea and treated me the same as always(in most cases).Sad as it is,I think breast cancer is becoming common place and everyone knows someone whose had it.If you have to have chemo then it may be harder to keep it secret. Best wishes for surgery. Tonya xx
