Even though people with cancer undergo a variety of different treatments, the side effects of these treatments aren’t always well understood. From speaking with you – the cancer community – we know that many of you experience Chemo Brain. And often, you experience it without even knowing what it is.
You aren’t going mad – and you aren’t alone. Tune in for helpful tips and information about managing chemo brain.
