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.
Acerca del autor: Daniel H. Silverman is head of the Neuronuclear Imaging Section in the Ahmanson Biological Imaging Division at UCLA Medical Centre, associate director of the UCLA Alzheimer's Disease Centre Imaging Core, and associate professor in the Department of Molecular and Medical Pharmacology. He has been featured on NPR's Science Friday, on the front-page of USA Today, ABC's World Health Magazine, ABC News Now, Time Magazine, The New York Times, Health Magazine, CNN Radio, CBS, among others. Idelle Davidson is an award-winning journalist in health and medicine and general-interest reporting and winner of the 2005 American Society of Journalists and Authors award for Outstanding Article of the Year. For three years, she was a contributor to InTouch magazine reporting on cancer prevention and treatment. Her writing has appeared in the Los Angeles Times Magazine, Time, Parents, Parenting, First for Women, Health and Fitness Sports Magazine, and many others. She is also a cancer survivor who suffered from chemo brain after her treatment.
