Thanks to some of my cancer survivor friends, I recently discovered that Wikipedia has an entry for "Chemo brain." They call it "Post-chemotherapy cognitive impairment," but I think the simpler label works better. So far as I can tell, it’s totally true: these drugs seem to have roughly the same effect on mental acuity as repeated viewings of “Legally Blonde.” I can feel the I.Q. points departing, perhaps never to return. And I didn’t have that many to spare.
