Guest guest Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Dear Friends, Just back from the North and almost midnight, but I thought I drop you all a line. A couple of years ago (after diagnosed with CLL and being confused about all the names etc.) my son made me a word document with the definition of all the blood counts (WBC - white blood cells etc.) I have often posted it privately to others that requested such info. Like I also find hard to remember it all, AIHA (autoimmune haemolytic anaemia) is one them and the one I find harder to say, my anaemia is macrosomething, you see I can even remember how to spell my own. I thought I could make the time to make a list of acronyms and they definitions to put in the file section of our group, Maybe some of you that are so knowledgeable and know more can e-mail me the ones that are more commonly used and I will try my best to organise them. Must go to bed now, it was a long drive, even I was the passenger, I was map reading.
