...if you've been recently diagnosed is that in all likelihood you are not going to die. There are doctors out there--both OB/GYNs and oncologists who may make it seem like it at first. I've decided they're intentionally grim. The basic premise of making yourself look good in the business world -- under promise and over deliver -- can apply in medicine too, right?
The fact is they have a prescribed approach to treatment. They will recommend you follow it. They will make no promises, and they will assume you will comply because you're scared and you want to live.
In most cases, the treatment prescribed involves chemotherapy and seemingly endless sessions of both external beam and internal beam radiation (use your imagination here). Let the humiliation begin.
