The first 100 pages of this book really pulled me in. I felt a connection knowing that my fears and worries about my brain were being validated. It was nice to see stories from other cancer survivors, studies saying "This is real!" and being able to look at the brain and see where the damage comes from.

Unfortunately, the next 100 pages lost me. I felt like the authors steered away from the brain+chemo idea and focused mostly on breast cancer survivors and hormone therapy. Neither were relevant to me but if you have had breast cancer and been through menopause then you may value these pages more than I did.

At page 195, I felt like I was invited back into this book. All too quickly I was given tidbits of advice and an action plan when really I wanted more of each. Since the study of chemo brain is still so new, I can see that a book might not be able to offer me that much information but I still expected more. I would have also liked some discussion on the differences between chemo brain and Post-chemotherapy cognitive impairment but there wasn't enough of that, instead the book focused on chemo brain v. depression which was also helpful. I think that as research in this field develops, the authors might have a chance to expand on this book and make it even more beneficial to survivors.

this should be called, you're not nuts chemo gives you brain damage. It was okay, but didn't give me much help dealing with it.
