Subject: writer wants to Interview people with chemobrain symptoms
A writer, Idelle Davidson, is working on a book on chemobrain. She want s to interview people who are experiencing "chemo brain" after completing chemotherapy or while undergoing chemotherapy now. The symptoms of chemo brain include problems with memory or concentration, a general feeling of being in a fog, an inability to multi-task as you once could, a hard time recalling words and/or depression and fatigue.
Some people also report not being taken seriously when they complain about these symptoms to their oncologists. The writer is looking for stories about that as well.
The book is a collaboration between health writer Idelle Davidson and Daniel Silverman, M.D., Ph.D. Dr. Silverman is head of neuroimaging at UCLA and an expert in chemo brain.
All names will be changed to respect confidentiality.
Please contact Idelle Davidson by email at imdavidson@ca.rr.com if you are interested.
