Re: Help with chemo brain
Hi - I have pinged a friend who wrote this book on chemo brain.... she is on the Her2 site and think she will weigh in soon for some advise for you...
Idelle Davidson --
Co-author, YOUR BRAIN AFTER CHEMO: A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO LIFTING THE FOG AND GETTING BACK YOUR FOCUS (2009, Da Capo Lifelong Books)
Hope this helps ---
And from personal experience I would say make sure she is getting enought sleep --- I found I slept terrible after I started chemo and herceptin - and found help with 20 mg of Melatonin every night --- Pure Encapsulations is the brand that I use and I love it!
