I can understand why a person would like to keep such a sensitive thing out of general circulation. There are some hot button concerns that create labels that will never disappear. To have friends, co-workers and family always aware in the back of their minds that you are the "penis cancer guy" would be something me as a rather private individual would not want to have.
Firstly my sympathy and my good hopes for you zen tom in your trying time.
Secondly, there are some things that are worth sharing. You seem aware of the consequences of either doing so or not. Your mom would probably want to share this with you - and if you want her to keep it between yourselves I would hope she would understand and support that.
Secondly, you are granted something which I personally have not had, which is a long-running and irrefutable reason to reassess and re-evaluate your priorities, your concerns, and your regrets. You have paid for the opportunity in ways I wouldn't even want to try to imagine. I hope you are able to take as much advantage of it as possible.
Good luck to you.
