I am very sorry to hear this news. My wife was diagnosed a little over a year ago with breast cancer. After a double mastectomy and several bouts of chemo I am happy to say that she is on the mend. I guess like most men do I put my brain in four wheel drive and drove forward. I ignored the bad in my head and resolved that I may only sleep 2 hrs a day and work 22 hrs of the rest in some capacity or another, and many times I did just that. I mentally prepared myself for the worst so that when others were thinking the same thing I was already over the hill so I could be there for the rest of the family. Tough times may be ahead my friend but since being on this forum (even a short time) I can tell that this is a great network of people who want to share in your experiences, both good and bad to help support you. You can contact me anytime night or day and I would be more than willing to lend an ear or answer the "what's next ?" questions. It also helped to tackle the experience in sections for me. Possible surgery. Recovery. Chemo. Stuff like that but in the end it's really just one day at a time. Good luck.
