- Title
Chemo Brain, Antiestrogens, and Me.
- Authors
Simmons, Catherine C.
- Abstract
The author expresses her opinion about the need for patient education on the effects of chemotherapy on cognitive functions, known as chemo brain. She comments on the lack of awareness of research findings. She describes her experience with confusion that she attributes to the use of antiestrogen she received as part of treatment for breast cancer. She believes oncology nurses should inform patients of research findings on chemo brain.
