Been diagnosed with hormone receptor positive breast cancer, have told family and work, but my husband wants to tell all our friends and I don't.
I initially told 3 key friends who literally carried me through my appointments in the early 3/4 weeks as I don’t have a partner or kids and live alone.
I was very grateful of their support though I waited around 4/5 weeks before I told my brother and my dad (about 2 weeks before my surgery) and some other friends and work, because I wanted to have as much information to understand it all myself before sharing with further people.
It took me nearly a month to come to terms with it myself and feel able to tell more people I had cancer, because you end up telling people over and over the sane thing which is exhausting and emotionally draining initially when you already feel incredibly vulnerable.
When I did choose to tell further friends I designated one who knew our circle to share the news saying I didn’t want a fuss but would welcome offers of support over time.
Ultimately your husband needs to support what you want, which I’m sure he will
