Chemo Brain

Chemo brain, also known as “chemotherapy-related cognitive impairment”, refers to a range of cognitive difficulties cancer patients often experience during and after chemotherapy treatment. Symptoms can include problems with memory, attention, and processing speed, making it harder to concentrate or recall things.
