Hello, I am sorry to hear about the news that you have received from your doctor. When I have some life storm happen that I do not think that I am going to get through, I go to my Bible and read in the book of Psalms. My favorite passage in Psalms is 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God." Then I sit there and soak up those words. God, is the "Great Healer" He can take our heart, mind and soul and give us peace amongst the most difficult times in our lives. Then I close my eyes as I sit there and I pray to Him. Sometimes no actual words come to my mind, but I just reflect on His just being there with me and that is just enough for me to feel at peace with my circumstance, knowing that God has control. I am praying for you!

that, you will take it step by step and get through it.
This is the problem with anxiety in that we immediately focus on the negativity and bad possibilities. We put ourselves in a hopeless state before we are even sure there is a problem. We have to put a little more faith in ourselves and the doctors. Second guessing them or reading into what they say, makes us worry sometimes for nothing.
