    Welcome, Dakota212.  Patoo has done a great service by compiling this list.

    I'm surprised these are not on the list - MRI and MRA

    Can they be added?

    Thanks.

    (Not sure if this has been posted already)

    I have seen several posts here (and elsewhere) asking what FN means in the context of US/SONO.  During my sono (today) I saw the tech enter '2 cmFN', '4 cmFN', etc.  

    2 cmFN = 2 cm From Nipple

    FN = From Nipple

    It's cold-thanks for the hot chocolate Meece.  I've picked up some bug after my cruise---I think I got it from the recycled air on the plane home.. Everyone was hacking & spitting & now I am too!

    I picked up the stomach flu on our trip to see Patch.  Not the best for traveling home with, but it did come home with me.  My bones still hurt so much in my fingers, back and knees.  It feels almost as bad as my reactions to Nulasta.  I wish people would stay home when they are sick.  A lot less people would be ill.

    Eph, I have always heard that on a cruise you go from hot outdoors to cold AC indoors often and that can weaken your immunity.  I always took vitamin c when I'd go, but now there is an array of immune boosters.

    Thank you.  Actually had a grilled cheese sandwich tonight.  Probably the closest thing to a meal I've had since Monday.

    Wishing for warm cider and deep sleep.
