My very cute awesome sister who is 22 years old, and is in college across the country called me today. She has found out she has advanced agressive ovarian cancer that has spread. She doesn't talk to our parents and didn't want them to know yet. I am 16 years old, and I am in high school, and live with my parents of course. She asked me not to tell them. I asked her, if she is going to tell them, and she said probably sometime soon. I asked if anything can be done to treat her, and she said, no. I asked if she is going to come back home, and she said, no. I don't know if I'll ever see her again, if she doesn't come back home. I don't think she really wants to see our parents, as they didn't want her to go to college so far away. I think if they knew, they would go see her, which doesn't want I don't think. There is really no family where she is going to college. She probably wants to just deal with this alone or with her college friends and not her family.
Do I tell my parents about my older sister's devastating news?
