Re: Insurance questions

Anita,
Another thought. Your oncologist may not be familiar with chemo brain injury (and should be). You could write down what your life is like, give some examples of how the fatigue keeps you from being able to accomplish daily requirements, and how your memory problems interfere with your abilities. Give these to your doctor to try to get her/him to understand.

If you want them, I can tell you some ways to increase your energy and some background on chemo brain to share with your doctor.

Good luck.
