We talk about cancer related cognitive impairment, what it is, why it is and tips to make your life better if you are living with it.

Excellent episode and very timely as I’m trying very hard to manage the crazy side effects from Anastrozole. What I’m realizing is that I did all the things asked of me prior to surgery, radiation and the challenges within those segments. Kinda like processing grief, and I’m still processing my Mom’s passing right when I started radiation. You provided excellent points for me to talk to my oncologist. I don’t think I’m going crazy with the brain fog, insomnia, joint pain, etc, but I will ask for help during this phase. Thank you so much!
