    I think it is fair to tell people if they email, you will hold your email and not respond until you are able. Then you get to decide what "able" means. And I have told people to text, NOT call, so I can (again respond when I feel like it) and schedule a call when it works for me. If they are duly warned that you will respond on your own schedule, it is on them if they are disappointed that you're not quicker. ALL texts and emails can be answered with, "Thanks so much for your concern. I'm feeling fine today (or not fine) but am not up to a longer answer right now (not up to a phone call today). Your friendship (or whatever) means so much to me. I hope to catch up soon." Or something similar, not detailed.

    As someone who has been very open about my mbc, I think you just have to go with whatever you’re comfortable with. And although I’m very open, I don’t tell the world every time I have an appt., scan etc, because that would take care of my time! But that all results in no barrage of questions or concerns. After almost 8 years, it’s something that many have forgotten, since I appear so completely normal. Do what works best for you
