Good advisor
Essentially just had to deal with it as honestly as possible while trying to still seem positive, Got the whole family together and said I have been diagnosed with Prostate Cancer but that they were pretty sure I would have a good outcome post Prostate removal. Iwas fine for 4 years after then it re-occured and had to have Radiotherapy, currently recovering from that. Now resigned to the factthat once you have had cancer it can return again at any time.

Hello everyone,
How are you doing today?
Being diagnosed with cancer can sometimes change the relationships we have with others - some may jump to one's side, others may not know how to react.
How did you tell your family and friends about your diagnosis? Did you wait a bit to process it, or did you tell them straight away? In person? Over the phone? Or did you decide to not tell them at all?
