[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Dad, I'm focused on the cancer and more immediate concerns right now. Of course, if we have Thanksgiving here, you're invited as always. But if Mom needs to have a plan in place right now, you should go ahead and make arrangements."[/quote]

Right, but add:

"And frankly, Dad, I'm disappointed that you aren't protecting me from this kind of unnecessary planning right now. I'd appreciate it if you'd let me focus on my health by running family interference for me right now."[/quote]

This strikes me as a very good idea, particularly if you add "until I am done with treatment in October. I realize that you may need to make plans for some things before then, and if so, please make those plans without me."  Let them know that you are not up to being manipulated like this when you're in the middle of a health crisis, that you are going to focus on your health, and that you will not be dealing with anything of this nature before your treatment is done in October.[/quote]
