Know what bugs me?
I'm new to a breast cancer diagnosis. This site is the most comprehensive I've found, for which I'm grateful. What I'm NOT grateful for is nearly every post is filled with acronyms that are not first defined for some of us who have no idea what you're talking about! Please be thoughtful and define the acronyms at least once in your post—like this: "I'm on an AI [aromatase inhibitor]." Thanks.

I think the website could use a glossary, an abbreviation list, something like that.
The Canadian Cancer Society website does have one:
Haven't been able to locate something like that here. Maybe there is something under the Learn tab.

There actually was/is a list of commonly used abbreviations. If I get a few minutes , I’ll poke around to see if it still exists.
Edit: Libel, you first asked for the abbreviation list in your 2019 post. That link is no longer valid due to the site revamp.
Libelfreezone,
Although that is a nice suggestion, many become comfortable with the abbreviations quickly. I understand there is a bit of a learning curve for new members, but if you see an abbreviation you aren’t familiar with , just ask. I have been a member for 13 years and I still occasionally run across unfamiliar abbreviations but I just ask. Now, to look for that list…

harley,
I copy/paste the url into my browser and opened it. Once on the live page, I copy the url and then paste it into the new comment. I will say that I have had trouble, on and off, with pasting URL’s on bco over the last few months 🤷🏻♀️.

You’re welcome. Sadly, we become familiar with these terms all too quickly.
