Re: Beyond chemo brain
Carol,
I'm delighted you wrote this book. I just finished reading Adelle Davidson's book "Your brain after chemo".
When receiving chemo therapy the cognitives issues were not addressed. Every focused on diarhea, fatique, neuropathy, etc.
I thought any cognitive deficits would clear up within a year after chemo. While I am better I am not the same as I was bc (before chemo).
I want to enjoy a higher quality of life so off to the neurologist I went for a consult. He told me that I was too high functioning, that I could have hours of neuro psych test done but the outcome would be no different. Afterwards there wouldn't be anything they could do.
I applaud you in publishing a book. Bravo! I hope you have helped all of us to be closer to having the quality of life we previously enjoyed.
