Things I never thought I would find in my google search history:
-Is radiation like sunburn?
-How bad does a lumpectomy hurt?
-Breast Cancer gene test
-Side effects of radiation
-BRCA 1 &2
-Stereotactic Biopsy
-Valium side effects (Note: this is because they gave me valium before my MRI, not because I take it)
-Vacuum assisted biopsy
-Stages of breast cancer
Google is great because when you have zero prior knowledge about all things breast cancer it provides some great links to information. However, the is a lot of scary shit out there! Avoid typing things such as: What other cancers can breast cancer patients suffer from? The words "brain cancer" will pop up and that's something you DO NOT need to read. (Advice from someone that read it.)
I've found that the informational packet my doctor gave me to be the best thing for me to read. Way less scary than the world wide web!!!
