Hi there I can only reiterate what everyone else here has said - aside from the fact that it may not be cancer. Your family would probably be devastated that you didn't tell them. My mom died at 59 and it's been 10 years and I still miss her like crazy. Your husband is broken hearted over his mom, I cannot imagine how he'd feel losing you too. Some early stage cancers are dealt with by surgery. Please don give up even if it is cancer. Hugs!
