I know many, many people who had cancer that never had it return. Some as long as 40 years. You should do some volunteering so you can keep your mind on helping others. When you think about other people’s problems and issues yours will seem very small and manageable.
You already know the answer to this question. You answered it in your question
Matthew 6:25-34
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
“And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
One day at a time. Focus on the little things. Sunshine, flowers, naps in the afternoon. Sit down and watch the world go by. You dont have control over the world, but theres times when it turns out beautifully just the same. I think, that if you constantly worry about it, then the worry will make you sick because it’s just going to eat at you and waste your energy.
Find ways to distract yourself from the worry. Volunteer, do extra things outside the house. Help someone else who is fighting or has fought cancer, someone who has gone through the same thing as you and battled their way out. Sometimes you can borrow a little of someone else’s courage and use it as your own.
Good luck, you deserve the best xox
