tx

[Marte313]

When I came to this forum six days ago I picked up the word tx. I understood the meaning and started using it but suddenly I got the question "What does tx stand for??". I got really embarrassed not to be able to answer, so now I am making sure it won't happen again by asking: What does tx stand for??

=P

Haha, that is exactly what caused the confusion!! I was using it as treatment, but the girl I talked to thought I meant Texas. No wonder I was confused =P

Any treatment, but especially one for HCV or cancer.

To make things more difficult, Tx also is short for our state of Texas; so one can live in Tx and be on Tx too :o).

Marte, never be embarrassed to ask questions in here about anything; we all had to begin learning sometime. There is a guide to the alphabet soup language we use here; you can find it listed in the box called “most viewed health pages” near the bottom right side of this page, or you can go here:

http://www.medhelp.org/health_pages/Hepatitis/Common-Hepatitis-C-Acronyms/show/3?cid=65

This should help you understand us much better :o).
