Chemotherapy saves lives, but new studies—including research led by coauthor Dr. Dan Silverman—reveal that the agents used to kill cancer cells may also impair normal brain function. Even years after treatment people have reported problems with memory, concentration, multitasking, and word retrieval. Silverman and Idelle Davidson combine cutting-edge science and true stories to demonstrate that “chemo brain” is not a figment of your imagination. With its invaluable strategies and straightforward nine-step program specifically tailored to re-energizing the brain, Your Brain After Chemo gives patients the coping skills to move on with their lives.

      For those recovering cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy who commonly experience "chemo brain" as a result of their therapy, Silverman (medical pharmacology, UCLA) and medical journalist Davidson emphasize that although a variety of factorse.g., anxiety, stress, depression, medicationsmay contribute to memory lapses of differing intensities, committing to a daily program of cognitive rehabilitative exercises, a good diet, prescribed medications, and a healthy lifestyle can repair damaged brain chemistry and brain function at any age. The normal brain and its functioning are explained, signs and symptoms of brain "chemo fog" discussed, and a practical program of how to get the brain back on track in order to reclaim one's normal brain chemistry is outlined. VERDICT In an age where many are increasingly aware of andrightly or wronglyconcerned with forgetfulness, these authors have found a hot topic. This professionally compiled book is every layperson's guide to how to exercise the mind and restore and improve memory.James Swanton, Harlem Hosp. Lib., New York
