Ask HN: Diagnosed with a incurable chronic disease, should I tell my employer?

Sorry to hear about your diagnosis. My wife is in her early 40’s and was recently diagnosed with leukemia. She’s still stage 0 (it was picked up from blood test results from annual physicals) and has no symptoms.

The hard thing about revealing your diagnosis is that the genie is out of the bottle. By taking time to process, you keep your optionality on what you choose to do.

Thanks for sharing this. I hope the best for your wife. I feel quite lonely in this situation but I'm extremely lucky to have a very supportive wife.
