Chemo Brain Experts Answer Questions on Blog

Hi Everyone,

I posted this yesterday but it got hidden in a long thread and I thought it was valuable enough information to put it here.

It's not my intention to distract from our community here but I did want anyone who is interested to know that I have two highly respected medical experts contributing to my blog on post-chemo brain and they answer readers questions from time to time. So that may be a helpful service to many of us.

One is Robert Ferguson, Ph.D., a clinical health psychologist at Eastern Main Medical Center who has been involved in some of the breakthrough research in the field of cancer and cognition. He runs a cognitive rehabilitation program for people who have been through cancer.

The second expert is Dan Silverman, MD, PhD, a distinguished neuroscientist at UCLA who is the coauthor of our book, Your Brain After Chemo. As many of you may know already from my previous posts, Dan was involved in one of the pioneering imaging studies that connected the dots between chemotherapy and cognitive dysfunction.

Dr. Ferguson just recently posted an answer to a reader's question and you'll be able to view it (and ask your own question, if you would like) at www.YourBrainAfterChemo.blogspot.com.

Just thought this might be something worth mentioning.

All the best,
Idelle
