We are very excited to bring to you this new program on supportive care in cancer treatment.

In this video, our host Dr. Arjun Gupta speaks with his guest, Lysa Buonanno, who is a lung cancer patient and patient advocate. Lysa and Dr. Gupta discuss the often poorly understood subject of 'chemobrain', or attention, thinking or memory problems in patients with cancer.
