Large mass found on cervix, uterus and joining onto my c section scar. Terrified!!!

Hi, I've been having constant water infections for the last two years. I had to wait 18 months to be seen and the camera revealed no abnormalities in my bladder.  For the last 6 months I've been having one sided pain during periods and really heavy watery discharge. I had a scan on Thursday which revealed a 5cm by 3 cm by 5cm mass from my cervix to my c section scar as well as a smaller mass on my ovary.

My bloods have come back today and they are raised and the urgent referral has been done. I know that it's likely to be cancer but I'm absolutely terrified. I just don't know what to do with myself. I can't sleep and can't think straight. Sorry to be having a moan, I just needed somewhere to vent.
