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.
