Saw this morning that over a quarter of over 50s keep health problems secret confused

I must admit, if I was going for tests I would maybe not tell my children to avoid worrying them, but I can't imagine keeping an illness a secret. Am I alone in this?

Good luck, clementine with your referral - hope you don’t have too long to wait / that’s the worst bit!

Information shared on a ‘need to know’ basis seems kindest for everyone concerned?
