how do I tell my family I'm dying?
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.

Stage 2 is definitely survivable.
That said, your local hospice have staff who can provide this exact information. They have to do this on the daily, and are always willing to give support to people with questions such as yours.
I thought hospices are for people who are terminally ill, but stage 2 is survivable like you said. Hopefully OP's doctors were able to explain that stage 2 cancer is not necessarily a death sentence, although based on the title, I'm not so sure...
