I think the best advice I was given was "give yourself time to grieve." While this isn't the worst diagnosis in the world, it's something you are going to have to live with for the rest of your life. You'll have to learn how to manage it, understand how it impacts other aspects of your health, and encourage your family members to get tested to make sure they don't have it. It's a lot to take in, so give yourself time to process your new reality and grieve the changes that are headed in your direction so you can better cope moving forward.
