How do you guys deal with the fact that you could get terminal brain cancer at any point? Or your loved ones could die any day, or you could develop MS or find out you have huntingtons? And the chances of these things happening are extremely high

The chances are low you paranoid idiot.

Cross that bridge when (and if) you get to it.
Realize life is fleeting and appreciate what you have while you have it.
By not being stupid and knowing that the chance I live a full and happy life is much greater

When I hit 14 the concept of death really got to me. I'd lie awake at night and think about being dead, underground, and all the people I knew going away.
That persisted for what seemed like years, but I bet it was at most just one year.
Really it's just knowing that it will happen, not caring about it, and finding what can make you happy in life.
If it's a big issue currently, find hobbies and get your mind off of it until you forget about it. Which you will.

I'm fine with it as long as either I die first or the other people don't suffer too much. I don't mind people dying but I can't stand to see suffering. It's awkward as fuck.
Marcus Aurelius' writings can give you a lot of insight towards dealing with uncertainty, suffering and the inevitability of death.
