Re: Chemo brain
I don't know if cancer has ANY simple answers! But I wonder if those who are able to have their mitochondria stay in slo-mo -- even if it means they are also the ones who suffer the most in terms of chemo brain or other side effects of slow mitochondria, like having much more difficulty with weight loss -- also end up being the ones who don't have recurrence.
I just am idly wondering of those of us here who don't have recurrence also happen to have the ApoE4 gene.
Does that make more sense? If not, let me know.
