Information on the Internet: does it reassure or cause worry?
The Internet is a simple and fast tool to search for information. How easy is it to separate fact from fiction? Do you prefer to know as much or as little as possible? Does the information that you find reassure you or cause you more worry?

Of all the women I know who've had breast cancer (including me), all of them started using the Internet to get information and then managed to scare themselves with what they saw. All of them (including me) stopped using the Internet until their treatments done or the results of their indicated that they didn't have cancer.
For the longest time after my treatments were done, I was still scared about what information I might stumble across that I might not want to know. I found all kinds of great information that I wish I had seen when I was on my cancer journey, but there was still information that I wasn't ready to see. Now, the fear aspect of going on the Internet and doing a search on cancer does not strike the same fear that it used to. In fact, now I have my own website and, in an attempt to minimize how overwhelming and scary the Internet can be, I've provided a small list of good sites. Most of them, as you all have said, are the "credible" sites.
Credible sources are so so important thanks for mentioning that!
