“Dr. Dan Silverman, an internationally recognized pioneer in 'chemo brain' research, and Idelle Davidson, a top-notch journalist who writes with clarity and heart, have translated the latest science into a highly readable and timely volume.

Your Brain After Chemo validates the concerns of cancer patients everywhere who have experienced memory and other cognitive effects following chemotherapy. Silverman and Davidson show us that no one need suffer in silence. Within the covers of this clear and comprehensive book, you’ll find support, answers, and strategies to help you move through and out of the fog.”
Gary W. Small, M.D., author of The Memory Bible: An Innovative Strategy for Keeping Your Brain Young

“An excellent new book…offer[s] a long list of suggestions to help people who are struggling with the cognitive effects of chemotherapy.”
Jane E. Brody, The New York Times

“In an age where many are increasingly aware of and—rightly or wrongly—concerned with forgetfulness, these authors have found a hot topic. This professionally compiled book is every layperson's guide to how to exercise the mind and restore and improve memory."
Library Journal

"One of the foremost researchers in chemotherapy's effects and a journalist and cancer survivor combine talents to explore emotional and physical reactions to chemo treatments, blending science with health insights in a book that should be a foundation title in any serious health or general library."

Midwest Book Review

"Your Brain After Chemo - is an incredibly helpful guide for anyone experiencing chemo brain, for patients who may be starting a course of treatment, and for family members and caregivers. It's sure to become an invaluable resource for understanding cognitive changes, and hopefully for taking steps toward recovery.

"The authors have done a great job explaining the complex science in a wonderfully approachable way! Pick up this book and start to 'lift the fog and get back your focus.'"
Janet Colantuono, former exec. director & co-founder of Hurricane Voices
