When I was diagnosed with breast cancer nearly a year ago, I found myself
at a loss for words at first. Over time, however, I developed some pointers
(点子), which I hope will help others. 2 During the first few weeks of
emotional "aftershocks" (余悸) from the diagnosis, I found myself unable to utter
the word "cancer". Still, I wanted to share the news with my relatives and
friends who already knew that I’d had a biopsy (活检) and were anxiously awaiting
my telephone call. I did the best I could, which is all anyone can do in this
situation. When I called them, I said, "What we feared has happened." They
immediately knew what I meant. 3 Nearly a year after my diagnosis, I
find myself more comfortable telling people "1 was diagnosed with cancer"
instead of saying "1 have cancer." On some deep level, I don’t want to "own"
this illness. Choose language that suits you when you share your news. And keep
in mind that there is no one "right" way of doing this. 4 Most people,
after hearing your announcement, will be curious about the next step. They may
wonder if you will be undergoing radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy (化疗).
They may wonder where and when you will have surgery. Answer their questions as
best you can, but keep in mind that "1 don’t know right now" or ’Tm still in too
much shock to think about that" are good answers. 5 Wait until the
initial wave of strong emotions has passed before telling the children in your
life. Don’t overwhelm (使不知所措) very young children with too much information.
Assure them that, even if you will be in the hospital for a while, they will see
you every day and they will be cared for, Older children may already fear the
word "cancer", so be prepared to reassure them. Emphasize the positive steps
that doctors will be taking to treat your illness. Paragraph 2______
