Memory, concentration, word finding, brain fog and difficulties with attention are all fairly common symptoms. Today we talk with cancer survivor specialist nurse practitioner, Michelle Kirschner. We talk about cancer related cognitive impairment, what it is, why it is and tips to make your life better if you are living with it.

I really liked this episode. I definitely had worse memory issues, I think its improving, or I have learned ways to help myself. I told my husband, please remind me, help me remember important things. I use the calendar more and notes. As always, it's reassuring to know we are not alone in these struggles. Thank you.
