I went through the same emotions you are feeling now. It is normal. In time that fear will subside and you will know that your old life is just that. Your old life!! I can only speak from my experience and interaction with forum members who traveled the path ahead of me. There are so many supportive, educated members that you can tap for information. And Guess What!! It's all free.
I have accepted my life and whatever happens will happen, I can control somethings such as diet, exercise and generally taking good care of my body. That's it. My new life isn't all that rosie but it's what I have. I always try and look at the good things and it seems to help. Good Luck on your healing phase and I wish you nothing but the best.
