    Hi Tommy!
    Welcome to this wonderful supportive board. I am new as well, just turned 44 a few days ago, and just had my first chemo treatment last week, and was nervous as heck also! it turned out to be not so bad, except for the nausea, but getting it all in all, the chemo nurses were so sweet and tried to help you get through it as much as they can, they will even give you something to calm you during you treatment, if you're that nervous. I know what to expect now, it's not as bad you would think, I was really scared, but it's something I just have to get used too unfortunately :)

    terms/abbrs
    one good thing about that spammer is that this posting was brought to the forefront. Very informative to this new subscriber/"semi-colon;"

    Thank you!
    Thank you so much for posting this. It is an incredible resource. All the terms and abbreviations are so difficult to learn -- it's like learning a foreign language -- often while people are coping with the 'trauma' of diagnosis. But also a good resource even for "old timers" like me. I'm forever trying to remember the various names for different chemo regimes and combos.

    I would love to find some way of making this resource easily accessible to our members. I'm not sure how.

    But in the meantime, let me do my bit by raising this nearer to the top of the postings -- I suppose a simple solution would be to do that periodically???

    Thanks again -- this was a real labour of love.

    Terms and abbreviations
    Hi all - if you are looking for a great list of terms that is always available, go to Colon Club (www.colonclub.com) and click on the "Colon Talk" link. That brings you to the discussion board and there is a post that is always near the top (top 3 anyway) that includes terms and abbreviations.

    Worth checking out.
