Just that really, thank you.
I've been reading this one:
1 Peter 5:7. 7 "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."
But I'm tired, my soul is tired. I've got a bad diagnosis looming and I feel like someone is pushing my head under the water and I can't come up for a breath.
Any verses you could recommend I'd be grateful.

Try not to worry. I was diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer 7 years ago & had a reoccurrence. I've since been discharged from the breast cancer clinic with an all clear! So don't give up hope!

Maybe speak with your Priest/Vicar. I think you're already half way there if you know God loves you. That gives you something to hold on to.
In terms of applying value and love to yourself, I would look into therapy for that. I would also pray about it.

1 Corinthians 13
I know Love is patient, love is kind can be so overused as a wedding reading that it can be overlooked
But if you need a little self care then reminding yourself that loving yourself is being patient with yourself, and loving yourself is being kind with yourself then it can go a long way

The Lord your God is with you,
the Mighty Warrior who saves.
He will take great delight in you;
in his love he will no longer rebuke you,
but will rejoice over you with singing.
(Zeph 3:17)
God thinks all creation (including you) is delightful! 'And God saw all that he had made and it was very good'. - Genesis.

And you can pray The Unity Prayer for unity with Jesus Christ, so He will lead you. Which you can believe in faith He will. I have posted this prayer before because I believe it is a powerful one.
My adorable Jesus,
May our feet journey together.
May our hands gather in unity.
May our hearts beat in unison.
May our souls be in harmony.
May our thoughts be as one.
May our ears listen to the silence together.
May our glances profoundly penetrate each other.
May our lips pray together to gain mercy from the Eternal Father.
