My mom and I have a very rocky relationship. I told her something a couple of weeks ago and asked her to keep it private especially from my sister. She of course immediately... (more)

called my sister and told her. Recently, I went to the dr thinking I had hemorrhoids but it seems like it might be something more serious. have an appt next week they did tests for colon cancer. I'm freaked out and don't really want to have to deal with my family right now. Mom is asking about the hemorrhoids. Is it ok to tell her that it is private and I will discuss it with her when I am ready. Or lie and say everything is fine. I have friends and dh's amazing family to lean on for support, but don't want the drama of my family right now
