Hi Lani,

Case in point-- I'm confused by this. Was it the patients who had high-dose chemo, as opposed to 'regular' dose chemo who showed the greatest cognitive impairment? Did those who received regular dose chemo have the same cognitive ability as those who did not receive any chemo?

Thanks for your help with this.
