[quote=Anonymous]"Stepmom, we love you and we're here for you in whatever capacity you want." Then, a separate and ongoing conversation with your dad: "Dad, I'm sure this is rough on you. Let us know what you we can do to help that Stepmom would be OK with." E.g. send food or care packages, help him set up and maintain an online calendar to track her medical appointments, etc. It doesn't surprise me that your stepmom would have a furious reaction to getting a devastating diagnosis. My MIL was VERY secretive when she had cancer - did not want to let anyone, not even her closest friends, know. Was terrified about anyone ever glimpsing her without her wig. Etc. It was almost like she was ashamed that she had cancer. Everyone processes things differently. Good luck to your and your family, OP. I'm sorry that you are going through this.[/quote]
