Evening all
Many years ago my now aunt married my mums brother my uncle obviously and she had nieces of her own and myself and my brother where page boys and the two girls nieces flower girls at their wedding fast forward a few years and we all became part of the same social circle and good friends and close.
unfortunately one of the sisters received a Cancer diagnosis a few years ago and was doing well not bladder cancer way more serious unfortunately a cancer where treatment options are really limited.
anyway me and the niece in question having been speaking alot lately and I’ve tried to only skirt round the basics not wanting to say to much as didn’t want give her any misinformation you know what I mean it’s got to a point now where I will only mention when asked where am upto when asked by my uncles wife when she has said please keep us upto speed but I haven’t I’ve only mentioned things I want to just to keep their minds at rest things have took a turn for the worst unfortunately for the niece I’m really gutted about it if I’m honest but her diagnosis was a bad one I’ve found out this past week top end of the the scale I’ve hated not keeping my uncle up to speed the minute I know anything but I feel like I’m being a I’m alright Jack sort of person I know he wouldn’t think that but doesn’t stop me thinking about their feelings and their niece

Hey Ste
Such a difficult position to be in, but I think that honesty is the best policy here. I'm sure your Aunt and Uncle and their Neice would all want to know how well you are doing! It takes nothing away from the love and concern you have for the Neice. Stay true to your lovely self.

Sending hugs,
Love Ade xx
