I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I can understand your emotions. Don't worry about you are anxious. This is an universal story. Almost all people across the world, do get anxious when they are told that their health condition is bad or they are into a surgery procedure. Generalizing the anxiety reduces the suffering. If you gigantify it, It will haunt you. Anxiety before surgical procedure is common and you are not going to be affected by it. I am sure.
Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.
