Re: Chemo brain

Hi Carol,

The effect on the mitochondria is interesting. It makes me wonder if those who would tend to stay NED might ironically be those who suffer the most from the slow recovery in one way or another and would have the ApoE4 gene.

Hi Karen,

If the info indicating that the Italian health care system has the best outcomes is right, it also sounds like they have enough sense to consider health care to be a high enough priority and important enough to cover everyone there for it....

Best to you,

A.A.
