[quote=Anonymous]Well, just remember that these family members aren't your enemies. Cancer is the enemy. If you think that you will need your family's support to get through this, you will have to understand that you can not control their reactions to this bad news. You can only control what and how much you share with them. If you are very early stage you likely won't need extensive treatment and you have the option of keeping all of this to yourself and not burdening them with any of this news. But if you think that you will need help getting through this - start rallying their support now. Share the details that you feel comfortable sharing and tell them how they can help. [/quote]
