Hi Lani,

I just have a question about this study. Does this pertain only to those people whose chemo was the type that crosses the blood brain barrier? When I was going through chemo my onc said that chemo brain was due to the lack of oxygen from anemia. I too am affected by the lack of processing speed and memory loss. Before chemo I was in charge of a very buisy office and now I feel as though I can not multi task and it is very frustrating and making my job difficult. I used to like the fast pace and doing a good job supervising and now I feel overwhelmed.
