Do you have chemobrain? Do you know someone who does? Take
heart. Several studies now indicate that there is likely something you can do
about it. That is great news! Study conclusions include:
·
Memory training and speed of processing training
are promising treatment options for breast cancer survivors with self-reported
cognitive concerns. (Chemobrain.)
·
Speed of processing training also had positive
effects on memory performance which warrant further study. Importantly, both
interventions also had transfer effects on specific self-reported measures of
cognitive function, symptom distress, and quality of life which impact
individual functioning and well-being.
·
In addition, both interventions were highly
satisfactory/acceptable to breast cancer survivors.
·
These pilot study findings point to the
importance of full-scale efficacy testing of these interventions in a larger,
more diverse sample of breast cancer survivors, and possibly other cancer
survivors.
There’s one caveat: you are the only one who can do it!
Start now!
