From a world-leading researcher and a patient-expert: a first-ever, authoritative guide to 'post-chemo brain' - the popular term describing the cognitive impairment that often comes with chemotherapy. Chemotherapy saves lives, but recent studies - including research led by co-author Dr. Daniel H. Silverman - have begun to recognize 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" breaks new ground as the first book to assure those sufferers that mental fogginess is not all in their heads. It accessibly synthesizes the cutting-edge scientific research on the subject and offers inspiring, exemplary (and sometimes humorous) personal stories of survivors, including co-author Davidson's own experience of chemo brain; coping strategies to help others move on with their lives; and tips and exercises to keep the brain sharp.
