Hi Jen,

I think your question is an excellent one and you've received some good advice above. About a year ago, I stumbled across a little utility program that I've loaded onto my computer. When I come across a term that I don't know the meaning of, I hold down the ALT key and click on the word. The little utility then opens a window with the definition. There is a free version of this program and registered version. I have no connection with the company nor any financial interest in it.

I know we're not supposed to provide links to commercial sites on this board. If you do a Google search for 'gurunet', you will find the web site where you can download the free version of this program. I find it very valuable for exactly the type of situation you've described. I find a word or term I don't understand and want a quick definition.

I hope this is of some use. Best wishes and good luck with your treatments - Sheldon
