I’ve learned so many different acronyms and short-hand terms around metastatic breast cancer since this all started. It’s almost like you have to have it to know what these mean. These are the ones I remember:
METS-metastatic cancer
MBC-metastatic breast cancer
NED-no evidence of disease
onc-oncologist
dx-diagnosed or diagnosis
I never thought I’d have to learn a whole new language if I ended up with terminal cancer. I never thought I’d end up with terminal cancer.
