16. Please don't google for medical information; you're just scaring yourself.

You'll assume the worst based on what you find on the Internet. I've used the Internet to convince myself that I had all manner of obscure and terrible afflictions which I did not have; I no longer do medical research online. Ultrasound is used for a lot of things, not just cancer screenings. You're better off NOT trying to do your own research. I hope you get good news, but no matter what, you'll be taken care of by people who know what to do. The Internet doesn't know what to do, so spare yourself and don't ask it.
