If it is, we'll be rooting for a cure.

And if you do need support beyond the Lounge, you can start here:

Your fear is a normal and understandable reaction. Be gentle with yourself.

I 'm assuming you're are seeing a doctor and they are giving you some indication of a prognosis as well as doing anything possible to combat the situation. I hope you have family and friends who you can depend on while you go through this.

Try not to worry until you get a definitive diagnosis.

Modern medicine has come a long way.

Be good to yourself.

Fear creates chemicals that undermine the healing your body is already working on. You got a good diagnosis from a trusted medical team. They will know how to treat it. You'll go through treatment, and then you'll be okay again.
