How do you tell people about new diagnosis of anal cancer?

Thank you for responding. I really don’t want to tell anyone. I’ve been reading about possible side effects to radiation and/or chemotherapy and if any of those happen to me, I wanted friends/family to know why I might not feel like doing anything or going out or whatever. I’m probably putting the cart before the horse, but I like to be prepared.

I agree on not telling a soul either you get sympathy or people avoid you like the plage and this small gossipy town they would love to have founder to talk about. Since I am not a native of this area people hate me as I will not take part in there little local social life . I have better things to do than go out at nite gossip & get drunk. That is their life here Husband wanted to tell sister who is one of the biggest gossips. I said no but he hated not telling her If folks ask what is going on & why are you sick I just tell them I do not want to discuss it But some folks will not accept that answer so I repeat it & walk away . Or I tell them I have bubonic plague That gets their eyeballs to open Basically it is not their business
