Hello - diagnosed in November, since then I've found out I have 2 different types of cancer

Hi I was diagnosed with cancer back in November, I've had one operation and since found out that I infact had 2 different types of cancer, one they have told me is genes related I've had bloods tests done and awaiting results but I'm really worried because of the rest of the family if it's positive.

I'm also waiting to start Chemotherapy which I'm really not looking to as I'm already finding it hard with being tied and not wanting to eat because I either feel sick or get a upset stomach if not both.
