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.

With its invaluable strategies and straightforward nine-step program specifically tailored to re-energizing the brain,Your Brain After Chemogives patients the coping skills to move on with their lives.
