Chemo Brain



Chemo brain; foggy thinking--

cancer patients complain about it;

doctors dismiss it. 

Cognitive functioning—

verbal ability, particularly

the ability to find words;

getting lost more easily;

memory problems. 
 

Chemo brain is real! 
 

The brain takes a hit after chemo—

decreasing the number of nerve cells

in the memory center of the brain;

making white and gray matter smaller.



Mental function lost.

Cognitive difficulties.

Chemo brain is real.

 

Chemo brain has been validated by a large new study from the Moffit Cancer Center.  

The newspaper report says mental exercise can help.  Writing poetry perhaps?
