simplyklb Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Hi All, Are there any resources for medical terminology for patients with lung cancer and their families? I have two brothers who are not well versed in medical speak as my oldest brother and I are. I understand what the doctors are telling me. I would really appreciate it! If there aren't any, I would be willing to put some info together. Thanks, Kristi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recce101 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Hi, Kristi: There's a rather extensive Glossary available here (link in the left column), but that may not be quite what you're looking for. In addition to that glossary, I do a lot of Googling, and I've seen some other lists on the Web, but not specifically for lung cancer. If you're willing to devote some time to that sort of project, I'd say go for it! Aloha, Ned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
