Re: brain changes associated w chemo induced cognitive dysfunction identified
When I met my onc in 2006 and told him I was a business writer, he told me that chemo might affect my work. I am different now. I can't write or think as fast. I'm not as "imaginative." When I tell myself it could be age related, I remind myself that Hillary Clinton is secretary of state! Yeah, it's better than being dead. These side effects aren't terrible, but they are noticeable. So oncologists suspected long-term side effects back in 2006.
