I'm 25 and I think I have cancer. What kind of life insurance do I get?

I've been seeing a Hematologist and my doc is like 99% sure I have a rare form of bone marrow cancer, but I haven't been diagnosed yet - I'll have definitive answers in a few weeks.

I could live anywhere from 2-20 years, possibly more with with this cancer, and I'm not sure how to go about life insurance.

My financial situation - I work part time as a waiter while I'm in school.

30k student loan debt 8k credit debt 1.5k monthly income.

My family is quite poor and won't be able to cover any expenses if I die without taking on debt.

Given I don't know how long I'll live, I don't want to wreck myself with a high monthly payment if it's going to be another 30 years.

Am I correct in thinking I need to get this figured out before being officially diagnosed? Idk how deeply the medical questions and testing goes.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
