Re: Beyond chemo brain

You're welcome, Sarah. I think more doctors are getting it now, but we've had to endure years of docs thinking we're whiners or just stressed. My hope is that soon no one else has to live with this reaction from the very people they look to for healing.

Family members need to know about chemo brain, too, in order to figure out how to deal with, essentially, a different person than they were used to before.

Good luck to your friend.
