Re: Chemo brain experts

Hi Everyone,

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 chemo brain. They're busy doctors but they do answer readers questions from time to time.

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
