Good question, Rebecca. I would personally rather know what I'm dealing with so that I can research my options and figure out a game plan. I do find the proliferation of "health" articles with sensational headlines that really don't provide much helpful information to be disturbing and they are confusing to patients who are in the early stages of a diagnosis. The best information is often in articles with dull headlines tied to academic institutions, not those in everyday media articles written to reel in people for ratings.
