[quote=Anonymous]I would tell her matter of factly as others have said. The message she needs to hear is that you are managing it, you are okay and you have great doctors taking care of you. Tell her everyone's cancer is different so that if she knows of others who have had cancer it wont necessarily be the same for you. You don't need to let her see your dark moments or your fears / worries. Emphasize nothing is her fault / caused by her or by anyone else. Don't make it an ongoing focal conservation but let her know she can ask you questions anytime. [/quote]
