I didn’t have an experience like yours. Treatment plans and future expectations highly depend on diagnosis. I feel like the time of “not knowing” before my diagnosis was one of the hardest parts of my journey. Once you know your diagnosis, that will put you on a predictable path. My oncologist’s energy is calm and supportive. I hope you can find someone like that for you. Some advice I got when I was early in my journey was let yourself imagine the worst for five minutes. See if you even need that long with it. Then stop and move on with your day. It helped me give those thoughts their place in my schedule. They don’t seem to pop up as much on their own if you give them that time.

I’m glad you are here. I hope you can find the support and help I’ve experienced on these forums.
