Replying to How do i tell my friends that my dad has cancer
I very recently found out my dad probably has cancer. Doctors are pretty confident that he has it in his kidney but, they're also confident he'll survive. Still scary as all hell and I've been pretty upset the past couple of days. My dad is one of the best people you'll ever meet and I consider myself extremely lucky to have been raised by him.
It's pretty fresh, I haven't told anyone besides my girlfriend because I don't know how to break it to them without being awkward and killing their mood. But I definitely need to tell them because they're gonna notice a difference in my moods and I'll be spending a lot of more of my free time with him in the future.
Should I just wait for them to individually ask "what's going on?"
Should I send out a group text to the handful of friends that truly need to know?
Should I just casually drop it into the next conversation that I have with each of them?
fuck
Help me out NS. For real, this time. I'm sure some of you have unfortunately been, or currently are, in similar situations.
