* Use this file as a guide to creating a treatment summary & signature * Rationale: We think that creating a treatment summary helps you to communicate more effectively with doctors and experts you consult. It also allows others to quickly evaluate what others have experienced and the treatments they have tried. Finally, the signatures may provide a way to communicate the burden of living with lymphoma to the public and our representatives. ABBREVIATIONS: DX = diagnosis, TX = treatment, CR = Complete remission, PR = Partial remission CT = CT scan, bmp = bone marrow biopsy, W&W = watch & wait, SIGNATURES: Signature are commonly used on the end of emails sent to support groups. They allow members to quickly understand your experiences and diagnosis.
