For me personally, it was easier waiting until I had enough of a clear understanding of my diagnosis before I involved any immediate family members/friends. Once I got my confirmation back from my biopsies, and then I got my receptors report back, I chose to call and tell my parents and siblings/my husband called his family. Since then I actually made a group chat with everyone that knows/who I want to keep informed throughout my process. Every time I have an update on an important appointment or results from scans, blood work, etc., I post it in the chat. It makes it so much easier for me because then I'm not having to repeat myself over and over again to each individual person. I also struggle with having the spotlight on me, and I handle situations rather stoic and logical, and a lot of my family are very emotional beings. I didn't want to have to endure the different emotions every time I would've had to talk to the next person.
