Need advice

I've just been diognosed with breast cancer and will begin treatment soon. At the moment my sister is dying of brain cancer and my mother is elderly and not in good health do I tell them or just carry on as if I'm OK. I feel guilty that I'm going to get treatment and my sisters not and I need to help my mother cope with the loss of my sister when the time comes.

  • Hi 

    Sorry to read your news do you know what your treatment will be?

    I'm going through treatment for breastcancer and it would of been difficult keeping it from my family. 

    Only you can decide wether to tell them as you know them, it won't be easy but may help. 

    Here if you need to chat

  • Thank you for your reply. I'm having a lumpectomy and radiotherapy the consultant said they are awaiting one result (sounded like hertz) maybe chemo but he said we will discuss this in preaddmission clinic. I feel I need to tell my mother just incase another member of the family slip up and say something. As you say I know them best so maybe I will sleep on it and decide tomorrow. Thank you xx hope your treatment goes well xxx
