Cognitive changes are a common part of living with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Symptoms like memory lapses, trouble concentrating, and mood shifts can impact daily life, work and relationships. In this episode, Dr. Rachael Freedman and Dr. Tammy Hshieh talks to us about what is behind the cognitive changes during treatment, and what healthy cognitive aging looks like for people living with MBC. You’ll learn why these changes happen, how to distinguish between normal aging and treatment related cognitive challenges, and practical things you can do to help, memory, mood and overall brain health.

Whether you are newly diagnosed or have been living with metastatic breast cancer for years, this conversation offers actionable tools and reassurance to help you feel more in control of your health.
