With the opposing view:
I beat esophogeal cancer 10 years ago. I told very few people while I was fighting it and didn't like the response I got from the people that I did tell. Guy's that were giving me shit a few days earlier told me that they would pray for me. Good friends got really wierd. While I realize that everyone had good intentions, I didn't want to be treated differently and I certainly didn't want to be treated like I was going to die any day.

Let your uncle call the shots, it's his right to do so.
