The following is an excerpt from Chemo Brain and Recovery.
_____________________________________________________________
Most publications today tell chemotherapy patients not to be concerned because, they say, the symptoms go away within two years. More recent research, however, that goes well beyond patient complaints, indicates that some damage is permanent. And two years is a long time to wait, particularly when strategies are available to minimize damage and to speed up recovery.
Patients who continue to work during treatment become fearful of losing their jobs or not receiving promotions, and may be afraid to admit—even to themselves—that they are experiencing this life-altering side effect. Help is needed to minimize long-term damage and to accelerate recovery. Currently, the best conventional medicine has to offer is stimulant medications typically prescribed for attention disorders.
Frankly, I’m very concerned about introducing more chemical agents into the brain. Everyone’s biochemistry is different, and chemotherapy alters it. When the number of drugs in a person’s body increases, so do the potential interactions of those drugs. Doctors have a difficult time understanding more than 2-drug interactions. When that number increases, so does the potential for problems.
Chemo Brain and Recovery is designed to help you understand the effects of various chemotherapies on the brain and mind, and how you can minimize chemo’s damaging effects.
•First, I’ll provide a very brief overview of the how cancer grows, so that you can understand why chemotherapies were developed and what they are designed to do.
•Next, I’ll list and describe the most frequently prescribed chemotherapies, and emphasize the ones that damage brain functions the most.
•The third section of this report describes what may happen in chemo brain patients, and lists symptoms reported by those suffering from it.
•Section Four presents strategies for recovery, and describes the benefits of certain dietary supplements and lifestyle strategies.
