The site for help understanding terms used in these forums may be right in front of me, but I'm not seeing it?  Will someone please direct me to where these abbreviations are explained? 

I have a very dear friend with Stage IV cancer in a very rare form--Inflammatory Breast Cancer.  She is not ready for support from others, but I definitely need not to feel so alone.  Hopefully, this doesn't sound selfish of me.  I just love her so much and feel so helpless.

    I don't know if I can help you with all, but here are a few.

    TX-treatments

    DX-Diagnosis

    IDC-Invasive Ductal Carcinoma

    ILC-Invasive Lobular Carcinoma

    METS-Metastasized

    SE-Side Effects

    RX-Prescriptions

    BC-Breast Cancer

    Rads-Radiation

    DH-Dear Husband

    DD-Dear Daughter

    DS-Dear Son

    That's all I can think of off the top of my head.  I'm sure other people will have additional abbreviations to add.

    There is a thread that is 'abbreviations for newbies' (I think). I have it as a favorite and try to bump it up every week. I will get it bumped up.
