Help please

I've been on this website searching around for anything on success for vt ablation and hardly find anything . I'm a 21 year old that found out I had vtach at the age of 18. I got 2 catheter ablations done , one was RF and the other was Cypro which the second one did not work . On February 5th of this year I was rushed to the hospital with a HR of 125 . And was given flecanide which did not help I got all the rare side effects so I quit taking them and waited a week in Vtach . I have been told my heart structure is normal and my heart is healthy . I did not go into cardiac arrest . Never have fainted either during my episodes . But the next time I was hospitalized which was a week after I was told I had vtach monomorphic and it terrifies me . I also have an ablation scheduled for May 7th . My 3rd one. I am very frightened . I've been given metoprolol and it helps somewhat but if I do things like walk for a long period of time , or pick something up I still have an episode even with my meds . I feel Lost and I don't know what to do . I had to quit work and school because I couldn't even handle going for a walk because I'd go into vtach . I'm frightened and doctors just say ablation and he's only giving me 70 percent chance that it will work . Is it normal to get recurrent monomorphic episodes in a normally structured heart ?
