Acronym Soup
I figured out NEDS.
What's the chance of compiling a guide of these things to help some of us that are less savvy?

I'll take "Mastectomy" for $200, AlexMNLynn said:that was the one . . .
that I could never get figured out either . . . until I finally saw a post that spelled it out!
lol

It took me awhile to finally figure out
BLM - bilateral mastectomy
For some reason, I never thought about the fact that TRAM and DIEP are acronyms -- so I just looked them up on the ACS site:
TRAM - Transverse Rectus Abdominis Muscle flap reconstruction
DIEP - Deep Inferior Epigastric Artery Perforator flap reconstruction
Oh, and Heidi - "mets" is just short for metastasis.
Do I get to move on to the bonus round now?

and Hubby (donna's man) ..I will fill in for Alex, as I am tired from Pre-OP testing, and doctor's visit - plus the 1 and 1/2 hour drive home .. so nothing is making sense to me right about now.

unofficial acronyms . . .
around home I refer to these:
bbc - before breast cancer
abc - after breast cancer
Do you ever find yourself looking back at events in your life and thinking "that was before I was dx" or "that was after I was dx"?
Really - it is quite a "turning point" in our lives, isn't it?
Hugs to all!
