Consider sharing with only your close immediate family. I had Stage 3b CRC diagnosed one year ago and I'm glad I only shared with my wife and grown children. Then the issue arose of whether to disclose with the broader family during my son's wedding in October. My wife wanted me to tell everyone and I said why I expect to be fine and besides it would take away from that wonderful event. I'm glad we kept this to a very small circle. Part of a large family of eight siblings, when I finally disclosed it a month ago it's interesting how people responded. Most people don't know how to deal with it, some fake concern then avoid you. Other simply don't understand it. By disclosing it you may be wanting either sympathy or prayers, but you might be surprised and disappointed that you will get neither. You have to remember too that once you disclose you're really going to have to continue sharing the details and then it becomes something that takes on my life of its own. And that's not how I want to live!
