Your Brain After Chemo by Daniel Silverman
Chemotherapy saves lives, but studies have begun to recognize that the agents used to kill cancer cells may also damage brain tissue and impair normal brain function, leading to 'post-chemo brain'. This book describes the cognitive impairment that often comes with chemotherapy. It offers tips and exercises to keep the brain sharp.
