Memento mori
Have an elder diagnosed with Stage 4. Got surgery done, it's been 3 years and he's doing good. Not all cancers kill, there's lot of nuance. So, just tell yourself you will worry when doc calls you in says things you should worry. For now, I think focus on stuff you should be doing but thinking this instead. Cheers!!
Cancer has become more prevalent these days, but so have other diseases and many other things. That doesn't mean you stop living your life.
Many other negative thoughts will come and go, let them. Trying to resist will only make it harder to focus on life and living in the moment.
Flip your mentality on its head, live everyday like it's your last. Enjoy as much as you can, love your friends and family, keep them close and cherish your happy memories.
Basically, yolo. Jo hoga dekha jayega.
I have the same situation as you. I even have genetic history of cancer, killing more than 2 people. So I am just getting a good medical insurance to cover my expenses. And it is as if I am ready to deal with it. Somewhere I know that one day i will get the news. I am preparing to face it. I even have thoughts where I plan that I will tell my doctor to let me go without prolonging my life unnecessarily. So you aren't alone.
