I don't think I'm going to tell my family that I have stage three lung cancer.
Why would you hide lung cancer?
I just don't want them to panic
You shouldn't lie to family about your lung cancer. They will find out by the changes you're going through then become upset that you didn't tell them.
My diagnosis isn't going to change. They'll just worry about me and we may argue.
I know it can be tough and you don't want your family to worry, but think about how you would feel if someone you loved hid and that they had cancer. It would be better to tell them so they can process their feelings, rather than being blindsided by it later.
