I have stage 2 cancer. I don’t want to end up like my uncle, wasting his final months enduring treatment. I just don’t know how to tell my family.

Best to just lead with the facts. “Due to having issues with x, y and z, I went to the doctor. After further investigation it has been confirmed as stage 2 xxxxxx cancer. I’m still trying to understand more about it.”
As another poster said, give them time to emotionally process this. They care about you so are naturally going to be affected and that is fine. Doing this in person is preferable.
