    I watched this last night. Quite informative. When cognitive issues were discussed, I could relate. I have to work/concentrate much harder than I used to, just to perform 'normally'. The brain scan shown said it all.

    Hi @patdug

    Sorry, I just posted the link for info, didn’t participate myself (worked through treatment eight years ago). Perhaps @Dory65 can help? Or there may be something on the website itself. The organiser is Direct SIG at the University of Sydney.

    Hi @patdug,
    The email I received after registering was from Nicola Fearn at Sydney Uni.  It was a "no reply" email with no address. Surely they will make a recording available.

    Thank you both AFraser and Dory 65 so much for getting back to me...
    I'll contact the organisers... I too resumed work during treatment... about a third of the way in and found it a great way to focus on something else... in some ways quite therapeutic...but memory (short-term) is an issue for me so I was keen to listen to some diverse and clinical input and information around the effects of treatments on our brains..
    thanks again

    Hello again everyone
    I have just found an email address (general enquiries one so it may take a couple of days to be sent on to the relevant area - DIRECT-SIG) and requested a recording of the the helpful event on returning to work during/post treatment. If it  is successful I will upload it to this network...
    warm wishes PD

    Thanks Dory 65 - I have emailed Nicola and asked that the recording be made available - as described in her email you posted - which I received too, so that will be good :) ...thanks for following up..  :)

    @patdug and @Dory65 - If the recording is made available, I would very much be interested in accessing it also. I have continued to work throughout the AC cycles - much leaner work and only after I was able to identify my best and most functional days - I had to learn to manage chemo brain. Now waiting to see what Taxol will dish out. Many thanks :-)
