Help with Acroynms
 

Hello -
I have been reading many of the posts and having a challenge with all the acronyms. Husband recently diagnosed with RAEB-1 and we are looking for alternatives and treatment experiences. Unfortunately even after a year of reading I don't understand all the acronyms. Is there a list somewhere? Not knowing their meanings makes it hard to understand the message. Thanks.

Deb,

Here are a few glossaries that may be useful, with some terms that are acronyms:

Medical Library Association Medspeak

Aplastic Anemia & MDS International Foundation Glossary

National Marrow Donor Program Glossary

National Cancer Institute Dictionary

You can also ask about specific acronyms here in the forums.

Thanks so much. It's a bit confusing being new...Deb
