but ...
the reason she pretended it was a practical joke (just like sean did earlier in the episode) was to protect him. the idea of cathy having cancer really cut to the core of sean and he was falling apart. the whole reason she hasn't told anyone yet is because she doesn't want to cause pain. so even though it's selfish on one hand, on the other hand it's generous.

I know all of that, I totally get it. But at some point she has to realise that she's going to die and then everyone's going to become hip to the fact and be in pain anyway. As has been said, she needs to tell someone else. It's getting silly. They opened the potential for the drama to unfold with her brother and a beautiful moment ensued, then they quickly shut it. It was a big tease to me. That's why it irked me.
