This is one of those times where you are literally allowed, even encouraged, to think of only yourself.
You have cancer. You can't avoid that. It sucks. It's one of the worst hands to be dealt. Get treatment. Get the best damn treatment. If you don't already do so, start taking care of your body 100%. If you do, bump it to 110%.
Cancer is not easy. It is a vicious plague that wants nothing less than to overtake your body for its own growth. It's ugly.
But you can beat it.
Take the time and effort you need to fight this, and use what you have left doing what you love to do, which if you're anything like me, it's the work that you'll be starting very soon.
It'll be exhausting. When you get into chemo, and maybe into marrow transplants and stem cell procedures, you won't often have much energy--both physically and mentally--to contribute, so do it now.
Sorry if this is blunt, but I don't want to give off the impression that everything is going to be fine and everything is going to be normal. Shit is going to hit the fan.

You're fucking dammit_lump; you can do this.
