I think I would panic, but I will be compliant with the treatment that will be done to manage it... because I care about my life.

I don't think that I would panic; choosing to live life to the fullest happens whether or not you have a diagnosis... Ultimately, treatments have come a really long way; still, I'd probably test again to ensure that it wasn't a false positive
