Dan Silverman and Idelle Davidson
Dan Silverman, MD, PhD is head of the Neuronuclear Imaging section in the Ahmanson Biological Imaging Division and associate professor of Molecular and Medical Pharmacology at UCLA and Idelle Davidson is an award winning health and medical journalist and survivor of cancer and chemotherapy.
This book validates the concerns that so many of us cancer survivors have pertaining to the effects of chemotherapy on our memory and other cognitive losses. Dr. Silverman bases his book on cutting edge scientific research combined with stories of survivors. The authors explain the science in an understandable way as well as giving tips and strategies on coping with “chemo brain.” “Chemo brain” is real, and the book offers us the knowledge and support we need to move ahead in our lives post-chemo.
