One of the most difficult things about getting a cancer diagnosis is having to tell your lovers that you have cancer. Cancer can affect your spirit as much as it affects your body. It is really a challenge to your values, beliefs, and goals. Remember that you are not alone. Your family is here to help you with your feelings and emotions. This type of support is an important part of treating your cancer.

Don't resist
About_1

It can take some time to absorb and process the news about your cancer. You might be thinking when and how to inform the people you care about that you have cancer. Make sure you wait until you are fully prepared then decide whom you want to tell. Before you embark on this conversation, have a discussion with your doctor. It’ll be easier to tell your friends and family when you already have a treatment plan in place.

Don't hide
About_1

You may want to tell your spouse or partner first, then other family and close friends. It’s also important to tell your children, which might require more preparation depending on their ages. Based on your level of comfort, you might wish to inform your colleagues and acquaintances. As you contemplate how to approach each conversation, figure out how much you want to share and what kind of contribution you do seek from the person you are talking to.

Don't pretend
About_1

Do not pretend to be unaffected if you that is not how you really feel. Acting cheerful and setting up a false front will not protect your loved ones. It would be in your mutual interest to share how you truly feel.
