Well, other people have said it all... but I think I should emphasize their words.
What were/are your symptoms?
I had Hodgkin's lymphoma some years ago, and I can tell you this: Don't panic. Not all cancers are the same, and the earlier the discovery and treatment, the better. I suggest to read as much as possible about your specific illness. There are lots of resources online, and many support/help forums. Also, seriously, don't blame yourself because it is not your fault, you don't control it. And finally: you should care about yourself first, forget money or other people's little problems.
Keeping yourself active is the best thing you could do. You have to care a bit, though, and try not to get sick. You probably won't be able to work for a few days after chemo (this depends on the treatment, though), and it may affect you in many different ways.
I don't know much about insurance and related things in the US.
Just ignore "alternative" medicine, it's just a waste of time and money.
Make sure to eat well, but also make sure that the food won't affect you.
