cancer do

Inspired by www planetcancer org1. Don’t even bother trying to remember anything…have a trusty friend with you at all times and make sure they listen to everything everyone says to you…then get a daily report from them.2. During conversations when your brain gives up and you stumble over a sentence look the person directly in the eye and say. "Did you catch all that?"3. Look at your doctor and say. "Whoa! You're treating me for WHAT?!?" 4. What was I saying?5. Have a glass of wine6. Ask your friend if you have already told them something you are about to tell them before you tell them…chances are you already did…. but just forgot.7. Have other people cook for you or at least have them supervise you! Never cook alone unless you stay in front of the stove. 8. Don’t try to tell any jokes…. you WILL forget the punchline9. Have a glass of wine. What? Did I already tell you that? 10. I forgot number 1011. What was my point?12. Where was I going with this?What is chemobrain?The terms "chemobrain" and "chemofog" refer to cognitive changes during and after cancer diagnosis and treatment. Though these terms imply a relation to chemotherapy it isn't clear that chemotherapy is responsible. Women with breast cancer who underwent chemotherapy were the first group to bring these symptoms to light as more started mentioning their symptoms to their doctors. It isn't clear whether chemotherapy or other factors such as stress and hormonal fluctuations cause the changes in memory and thinking. What is clear is that some people with cancer do notice increased difficulties with certain mental tasks during and after cancer treatment. In general researchers have found that chemotherapy can affect your cognitive abilities in the following ways: Word finding. You might find yourself reaching for the right word in conversation.  Memory. You might experience short-term memory lapses such as not remembering where you put your keys or what you were supposed to buy at the store.  Multitasking. Many jobs require you to manage multiple tasks during the day. Multitasking is important at work as well as at home — for example talking with your kids and making dinner at the same time. Chemotherapy may affect how well you're able to perform multiple tasks at once.  Learning. It might take longer to learn new things. For example you might find you need to read paragraphs over a few times before you get the meaning.  Processing speed. It might take you longer to do tasks that were once quick and easy for you. About 20 percent to 30 percent of people undergoing chemotherapy will experience cognitive impairment though some studies report that at least half the participants had memory problems. One study found 35 percent of women with breast cancer had memory problems before beginning chemotherapy so it's not clear how or if memory changes are related to cancer treatment. Signs and symptoms of these memory changes can last for a year or two after your treatment. Changes in memory during and after treatment may be very subtle. You might notice changes during your everyday tasks and as you start working again after treatment. The memory changes are often so subtle in fact that researchers find that people who report having memory difficulties tend to score in the normal ranges on tests of their cognitive ability. That makes it more difficult to understand diagnose and treat the memory changes.

A CAMPAIGNER is calling for the Government to pay as much attention to cancer in men as they do in women. Gary Steele. 67 of Cherry Crescent is frustrated that millions of pounds are spent on breast cancer research while treatment for prostate cancer is decades behind other countries. He said: "Women stand up and be counted and get out there and raise awareness about breast cancer and fair play to them for it. "We men just bury our heads in the sand and don't talk about it and that has to dress. "I don't want to be a hero but am I the only one with prostate cancer? "Other men need to stand up and be counted and talk about this." In America only one in 35 men diagnosed with prostate cancer die from the disease but in the UK it is one in three. Gary who is chairman of Leighton Hospital Prostate Cancer Support Group said: "We are so far behind other nations it is a abase. "Every year there are 8,000 men dying needlessly and it is because we don't increase awareness of it. "The other day I was in the gents toilet of a supermarket and there was a sign asking for support for breast cancer. "I don't be to say breast cancer research isn't a worthy cause but it does seem to be more fashionable to support that than prostate cancer." Gary who is chairman of Leighton Hospital Prostate Cancer Support assort has already raised more than £50,000 to train surgeons to carry out prostate operations and buy equipment. He is nowhoping to raise £15,000 to buy an isurgical simulator which surgeons can practise with and would reduce the five hour operations by half. He said: "It is a fact that every man if they live long enough will get prostate cancer so this effects every one of us. "People need to know about prostate cancer and I am no longer going tosit back and let thousands of men die." To make a donation towards the appeal or for more information on the isurgical simulator or the support group call Gary Steele on 01606 553097.
