Oh sweetie, maybe I have an idea why they didn't tell you...
Honey, they love you so much, and they knew how THEY were feeling and could not bring themselves to put this heavy load on your shoulders. There is no other word that affects us like "cancer". It is the most dreaded word I can think of. In their hearts, they probably were thinking, let's see how everything goes before we tell her. There was nothing you could have done in their minds and I am CERTAIN it was a difficult decision-one they second guessed right up to the point of surgery.
Please don't be too hard on them, yes this is your sister, but remember, she is their child.
You really need to get an opinion on a frequent checkup schedule. My dearest, DEAREST friend died at 36 from Hodgkins...her sister had passed only a year before. Now, the one surviving sister gets checked every 4 months.
