Thanks. Guess I wasn't thinking cancer but you are correct in the fact that all divisions of medicine have a certain amount of their own terminology. And you described what Primary & Metastatic mean. Thanks for shaking this old brain up.

As I reread every thing again it is important to note that anywhere a cancer starts in one's body is called the Primary site. If it spreads, then those are referred to as the metastatic sites. So if the cancer starts in the Lung & then spreads to one's bones. It is said that they have Metastatic Lung Cancer. They may simply tell about the bones. I will shut up now.
