Idelle,

I have your book checked out from the library. I'm so glad you wrote it. I suffer from retrieval failure like most. There was an experience shortly after treatment when I couldn't remember the names of vegetables at Subway and everyone in line laughed at me. I was so embarressed. Luckily I've improved since then.

Exercise seems to help me make rapid improvement. I discovered I need to work out at a more effective level when I lucked into prescriptive exercise for cancer survivors.

Nice to hear from you on the board,

'lizbeth
