Telling people

I meant urologist not neurologist 

Not at all in my opinion. We have to live with this medical condition and cope as best we can. The ability of others to emotionally cope with it is hardly as important. Concentrate on yourself first.

I can’t deal with my anxiety over all this & theirs too!! 

if this is cancer, and I pray to god it’s not, then I need time to come to terms with everything and deal with it in my own way, without added, pressure from others x

It’s your body and your life, just do what is right for you when you are ready.

Hi Rachel72,
I have had lots of advice from professional etc that I should share my diagnosis with my family. So far only my husband knows . I haven't told my son or siblings or friends. I do intend to share with my son when i feel the time is right . I havent decided about the rest of my family yet. I was diagnosed 9 months ago. I may be right or wrong in that decision but its one I have made with the best intentions.

You do what is right for you my lovely, I think these decisions are very personal
I hope all goes well for you and its not a recurrence.

much love to you Angela x

Thank you, it’s Christmas coming up and I want that to be good for my family without all of this for the second time. I do realise they do need Kellen, but I want to be the one to decide when that happensX

Spot on, I have been somewhat selective also. Some of my relatives are like the BBC and would transmit my personal information far and wide without a care in the world. Their inquisitive natures are only exceeded by their indiscretion. It’s information that is just for those I deeply trust.

Exactly! X

Hi Leo1,

that made me chuckle about some rellies being like bbc , but i feel the same. 
much love to you

Social media snooping also has a lot to answer for. My answer is being selective. It works well.
