This must be a horrible shock @jamavon. Fingers and everything crossed for you - it might not be as bad as you fear. Can you see your GP for something to help you sleep or calm you, if your mind is racing? Avoid alcohol - it just makes things worse. Keep eating well and drink lots of water...Anything that brings you into the present moment can help ease the anxiety. Google "bubble breathing mindfulness" exercises. I also like Insight Timer. I used it recently when I couldn't sleep. It calmed me down - actually I really enjoyed having The Velveteen Rabbit read to me at 3 a.m. :)
