Laughing at and with myself
As much as I like this forum/site, I was feeling incredibly ignorant and behind every time I connected. Everyone that posts lists all the letters, numbers, definers of their diagnosis. I kept thinking how do they have this memorized? Do they have a post it note on their laptop, or copy and paste? I am still just trying to understand it all, let alone memorize it. Is it somehow disrespectful to not write this out?
I just realized it auto populates through your profile page. Talk about overthinking…..
It's been awhile since I laughed that hard and that loud. Sometimes it's good to laugh at and with yourself :) I will remind myself in the future to breathe and just be okay with myself, my progression, my understanding, and the time I need to digest this all.

No worries at all, @roslynvaz! We agree - there’s nothing like a good laugh to take the edge off! Thank you for sharing and for the smiles😊
We completely understant; the medical jargon and forum terminology is a whole new language — we understand it can be overwhelming and difficult to grasp these things, and you’re definitely not alone!!
If you’d also like your diagnosis and treatments to show in each of your posts, you can do that by filling in your signature .
Also, our abbreviations guide should be helpful to you.
And, as you learn more about your diagnosis, you can learn what each part of your pathology report means here:
We hope this helps! (And !)
