I had something similar. I had siblings I little contact with and as it wasn't terminal didn't feel they really needed to know. My sister rang and told my cousins and then I get panicked calls from them (my sister died from breast cancer) I was furious but assured all was fine and I just got on with it.
Weirdly another sister has contacted myself about a breastscreen recall. We are not sharing with my other sisters yet. I want to share but will not break this confidence but I now totally understand why. Your parents are reaching out for their own support when sharing. They are worried for you. Sharing distributes the fears at times.
Be annoyed but just let it go. It's not worth damaging your relationship over and it was not done in malice. X
