Sweetie, while I've never had cancer, I have been on chemo (it's for more than cancer) and have an extremely extensive medical past, especially for being 26. Honey, I was supposed to die many times and am in medical books by name as a medical oddity. Even if it is cancer, do't let anyone convince you that you will die. I mentally made the decision that the diseases I had may have been in my body, but they weren't my body. Just intruders. And I'm the master at the helm of my body and the army that will fight to defend it. Your mindset can make a HUGE difference. Those who give in to death and defeat do die. They rarely recover. But those who fight have a better chance at winning, even when the odds seem against them.
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst, and fight like all hell. You're young. The young, while they get sick quicker, also have a higher chance of recovery. You're going to be okay, Sweetheart.
