Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Where do I start.  Last week my consultant broke the news of SCC to me. Thought I had misheard her. How do I feel or how should I feel. My emotions are all over the place.  "Oh you'll be fine" everyone tells me.   Tell that to my brain when I live alone and already an overthinker.  I hate the word cancer and its seriously keeping me from sleeping, socialising and its only been a week!  It bleeds regularly.   Is the common?  So so many questions.  I know there are people a lot worse off than me and I send my  love to you all.  Hopefully my surgery will be done reasonably quickly
