My best friend of over 40 year’s sister has cancer. I found this out after meeting someone on the street who told me. My friend has not told me and has had opportunity to recently. AIBU to feel upset by this?

It's not about you.

YAB massively U. It's not even about her, maybe she didn't want to discuss it full stop, maybe she's not sharing her news that is not hers.

It's horrible having to tell people news like this. They're all sorry and it's painful to tell. And makes any other convo hard.
