I’m having a little bit of a hard time following some of the posts. I figured out some of the acronyms and abbreviations used but if someone could post just a few of the common ones and what they mean it would help greatly.

Thank you and God Bless,

Miriam,

Here are a few: (I hope this is what you are asking for)

BMB bone marrow biopsy
BMT bone marrow transplant
PRBC packed red blood cells
TX transfusion

As I think of others, I will try to post them.

Can anyone else help?
