Just been diagnosed advanced lung cancer. Starting chemo next month and I'm terrified

Just been diagnosed with lung cancer and it’s spread to my throat. I seem to be a bit lost/overwhelmed with information. Friends and family have been amazing. 
Starting chemo next month and to say I am terrified would be an understatement. Is it just me?
