I worked during my chemo, and it was hard enough to function with chemo brain, but no sleep was even tougher. I followed the advise of many of these ladies and decided quality of life would improve a sleep aid. My Onc prescribed Ambien, and it worked like a charm. I often broke it in half.

Good Luck
