I (half-jokingly) wrote in my cancer blog that you can go thru the WebMD flow chart and it can tell you either have Ebola or you're pregnant. I'm a guy.

If you MUST look stuff up on the web, you're in the right place here. Talk to survivors. I actually even tried to avoid reading posts from people who are having a hard time. When you're in the thick of things you need to avoid as much of that as possible. Now that I'm on the other side of things I actively try to search out folks who are struggling and encourage them.
