I sometimes struggle knowing what all the abbreviations mean, so thought maybe we could share those we know here. Here are just a few that I think I know. Can others add to this list? For instance, I dont' know what NED is. There must be a lot more I don't know. Dx Diagnosis IDC Invasive Ductal Carcinoma DCIS Ductal Carcinoma In Situ AC Adriamycin/Cytoxin chemotherapy SNB Sentinal Node Biopsy 3- Triple Negative breast cancer BC Breast Cancer Met Metastisis Gr Grade of cancer St Stage of cancer Onc Oncologist |

NED stands for "No Evidence of Disease" It's the term that oncs now use instead of "remission" ------------- Dx 05/06 Stage IIIC Local Recurrence 01/07 Mets in opposite side axilla nodes 12/07 Mets to mediastinal nodes confirmed 11/08 NED March 2009-March 2010 Brain met March 2010. |
