Break Difficult News
Describe the difficult news and what you want your family to know. Get back an honest, compassionate email that delivers it clearly.
I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer last week. I start chemo on March 24. My prognosis is good and my oncologist is optimistic, but it is going to be a rough six months.
I need to tell my parents, my two brothers, and my extended family. I do not want to make 15 phone calls. Every time I try to say it out loud I either cry or shut down, and then I end up comforting the other person.
I want the email to be honest but not scary. I do not want people showing up at my door unannounced or calling me every day to ask how I am feeling. I want them to know that the best way to help is to let me ask for what I need when I need it, and that I will send updates on my own schedule.
My husband Drew and my best friend Nora are my day-to-day support system. I want my family to know that I am not alone and I am not trying to shut them out, I just need to manage my energy.
Also my brother Kevin tends to catastrophize so I want the tone to be calm and factual, not dramatic.
