I struggled with telling my loved ones about my diagnosis. First off I couldn't find the words to say it, they wouldn't come out of my mouth. I wanted to find out more information about uterine/endometrial cancer before talking to my family and friends as I knew they would have questions. Once I had a little more information then I told a few people that was closes to me. It was kind of difficult to explain at first, but I shared information as I received it from my oncologist or oncology team.
At times our loved ones tend to ask questions and say things that might seem a bit insensitive, I believe this happens only out fear and the love that they have for us . My family asked questions because they loved and cared about me and to get a better understanding as how to care and support me.
