Proof for chemobrain
There is a report in the Journal of Biology stating that more than 80% of cancer patients develop memory and concentration problems. This study was done at the University of Rochester and looked at the effects of three common chemotherapy agents. “Chemobrain”, the loss of cognitive abilities, has long been a complaint of patients, although sometimes dismissed by doctors. The BBC quotes a leading medical expert as saying “no patient should stop their treatment because of this research.” Learning the causes of side effects of chemotherapy on the brain may help efforts to mitigate those effects.

Every doctor who discredits a patient’s feelings, thoughts, ideas etc…is doing a disservice to the patient inorder to keep their superiority complex intact. I had a terminal form of Non Hodgkins 6X. After 4.5 plus years of chemical coctails and candies I decided to take my health into my own hands. I’ve been cancer free for 7 plus years ,however, my brain and body just will not cooperate with my inner desires and volitions. I easily shut down to stress much like a computer screen freezes when to many comands are typed into the hardware. Therefore, until a doctor goes through chemo his ingnorance and arogance will shine forth to protect his or her own hidden agendas. What would an oncologist do if there was no cancer? Subconsciously the majority are not interested in a cure, utherwise the might contact me to learn how I was able to rid myself.
