New to all of this. Is there a list of Acromyns

Postby tellmesomethinggood » Wed Dec 20, 2017 6:56 pm

Hello, so my wife and I are very new to this. Is there a list somewhere of the acronyms used by everyone. Like NED? What does that mean. That kind of stuff.
Thank you,
C

As for NED, that’s an easy one, and it’s everyones fave acronym and what they want to hear, it means No Evidence of Disease.

Add a signature so peeps on here can answer more specific questions you may have
