I miraculously stumbled on this site this morning during my regular news search and thank God for putting it in my line of site. I now feel so much better and justified that so many others share my exact symptoms of chemo therapy. I have nothing additional to offer except my sincere thanks to all before me who have shared here and my promise to check in regularly and share anything I can that is different from what I have read. How happy to know that brain fog is real and I am not losing it; that two naps a day and a full night's sleep is "normal" for many of us; that being unable to stay awake for more than 4 hours at a time is also normal for some of us. At least I can still type and share that I love each and every one of you. Bless you all for your input and support!

I have heard about some new studies and research that implies that there are dies out there that can help slow down malignant growths. Rf tooling is a way to cast dies in certain metals but I have heard we can take that same process and use it against these medical conditions.

I have read the article which deals with new findings regarding the chemo brain.Research has shown that some cancer drugs can, indeed, cause changes in the brain. Imaging tests have shown that in some patients, the parts of the brain that deal with memory, planning, putting thoughts into action, monitoring thought processes and behaviour, and inhibition are smaller after chemotherapy.
