How to Manage Chemobrain: Strategies for Cognitive Wellness

Time: 12:00 – 1:00 pm
Location: ONLINE (Zoom)

Workshop Description:

Join us for an informative workshop on managing chemobrain and cognitive wellness. Cognitive challenges are very common after cancer and its treatment. Medications alone are unlikely to address the diverse symptoms that cancer survivors may experience. This workshop will provide a roadmap on strategies to optimize cognitive health by focusing on lifestyle tips and strategies to optimize recovery after cancer treatment.

About the Presenter:

Dr. Arash Asher has served as the Director of Cancer Survivorship & Rehabilitation at Cedars-Sinai Cancer since 2008. He has a special interest in the physical and rehabilitative needs of cancer survivors who continue to experience the effects of their cancer or its treatment. Dr. Asher has led the development a number of unique cancer survivorship programs with his colleagues, including Emerging from the Haze (living with the perceived effects of cancer treatment on cognition), GRACE (Growing Resilience and Courage) and others with the goal of optimizing physical, psychological, and spiritual resilience for patients with cancer. Dr. Asher completed a physical medicine and rehabilitation residency at the UCLA/Greater Los Angeles VA, and a cancer rehabilitation fellowship at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas.
