Hi Paledy and thank you for your post.

I am sorry to learn of your recent diagnosis. I can understand how this can make you feel frightened.

Fear can be a natural emotion to being given a cancer diagnosis. You may find it helpful to read our webpage on how to cope with fear, anxiety, and panic.

It might help you to talk to someone about your diagnosis. Macmillan has useful advice on their webpage on how to talk about cancer.

The fact that your hospital's specialists feel positive sounds extremely promising. Cancers that are diagnosed in their early stages have a higher chance of being cured.
