From the article: Chemo brain - Chemo brain as a Side Effect of Chemotherapy
"Chemo brain" is a relatively new term used to describe symptoms with memory and concentration that some people experience after chemotherapy. One person told me that writing notes and keeping lists helps her when she struggles with forgetfulness. Others find that focusing on a single task rather than "multitasking" improves their concentration. What has helped you cope with chemo brain symptoms? Please share your tips. Share Your Tips
