How do I tell my family

Less than one minute read time.

Hello, I am looking for some advice - how do I tell my grown up children, sister and friends I have cancer - what are the kindest words ?  I have been diagnosed for 2 months now and have had a total hysterectomy and will soon be having chemo.  My husband knows of course and has been wonderful but like most men "doesn't speak about it" although he has been very helpful and supportive.   I thought of say something like " I am ill at the moment but in 5 years I aim to be a cancer survivor"  how does that sound ? has anyone any better ideas
