I'll be curious to hear how the Cerefolin NAC works for you. I know several people who take modafinil (brand name Provigil) for chemo brain and they say it makes a difference. The FDA approved Provigil for sleep apnea so insurance will pay for it only for that diagnosis. Your doctor can still prescribe it though for "chemo brain," but you will need to pay out of pocket. I don't know the cost.
