I agree with all the sentiments of the above post, I don't like to be the centre of attention so the only people that knew about my cancer was my hubby, daughter, brother, my bosses at work because of the time off I had to have and an aunt and she only knew because I talk to her on the phone alot and she kept asking what was wrong with my voice so I had to tell her eventually, not even my sister in law or mother in law knew anything about it until months after treatment etc and that was only because after MIL asked after my health to my hubby one day he let it slip that I was okay now so of course that followed questions as to why okay now?
Of course more people know now what I had so as the post above says people do change towards you when they find out you've got/had cancer, it's like they visibly take a step backwards when talking to you, (like they were going to catch it or something) in a way it was/is amusing to watch
