[...] “I think Posit’s cognitive training program is appropriate for anyone like me whose cancer diagnosis only increases their desire to be their best self for the people who love and depend on them. I think it’s for anyone with an Internet connection who can spare 15 minutes a day to think better on their feet and remember all the little things they’re still lucky enough to hear their kids say.” Cate Stasio [...]

Hi all…I am Katya…New to the site and I am here to let you all know that there is a new website http://www.curelauncher.com that allows people to connect directly to medical researchers working to find a cure. Right now the focus is breast cancer with planned expansion into other cancers. There are also clinical trials that are available for viewing, written in understandable English not in hard to grasp medical lingo! I am really excited to share this website with you and I will be posting Press Releases as they come out. Let’s all help each other and fight this dreaded disease together! Thank you!

Thank goodness there are folks actually listening to the complaints about mental acuity and chemotherapy. I am a 7 year breast cancer survivor. A psychosocial Dr. in Omaha Nebraska sent me away from her office calling me a retard. I have never forgotten it. I was late to the appointment for the test. I got the details confused. Although profusely apologetic, and willing to reschedule for a better time for her, since she complained about my tardiness, she gave the test with what appeared to be seething anger. Her comments were permanently placed on my medical records. She seemed to think i was faking it , in the hopes of some form of gain. Appalling, and devastating!

After undergoing chemo and radiation for breast cancer, I was diagnosed with MS. Chemobrain seems very similar to my MS. Is this just coincidence?

This is great information that should definitely be shared! I do have this kind of discussion with some of my patients on their follow-up visits, re:Chemobrain. My next blog will be on Depression and Cancer survival. Thanks for sharing!
