Cognitive Dysfunction People with cancer may experience difficulty with thinking ability, including memory loss, distractibility, difficulty in performing multiple tasks (multitasking), and trouble with arithmetic and language skills. People with cancer generally have fairly mild, limited cognitive problems, that tend to respond very well to focused rehabilitation efforts. Several treatment options offer hope and assistance for this concerning symptom that often accompanies the cancer experience. Information provides a way to help patients and families gain control of a disease process that often seems to be invading every part of their life. Please supplement this information by asking questions or by talking with your nurse or other healthcare provider to obtain the resources you need to successfully face cognitive dysfunction. |
