“A ground-breaking guide to "post-chemo brain," the cognitive impairment that often follows chemotherapy”
Editorial Review
Chemotherapy saves lives, but new studies—including research led by co-author Dr. Daniel H. Silverman—have found that the agents used to kill cancer cells may also damage brain tissue and impair normal brain function, leading to “post-chemo brain.” “Until recently, oncologists would discount it, trivialize it, make patients feel it was all in their heads,” Dr. Silverman told the New York Times in 2007. “Now there’s enough literature, even if it’s controversial, that not mentioning it as a possibility is either a reflection of ignorance of that literature or an evasion of professional duty.” Your Brain after Chemo is the first book to assure those sufferers that mental fogginess is genuine. It accessibly synthesizes the cutting-edge scientific research on the subject, while offering inspiring and sometimes humorous personal stories of survivors, including co-author Davidson’s own experience of chemo brain, plus coping strategies to help others move on with their lives, and tips and exercises to keep the brain sharp.
