Pine Street Foundation

Avenues - Winter 2005

Welcome to the winter issue of Avenues. The Pine Street Foundation has had an incredible year; from conducting original research and publishing papers in peer-reviewed journals to sponsoring public health events and presenting our annual Health Screening, we've made significant strides in support of cancer survivors.

This issue of Avenues is devoted to our popular Becoming Your Own Advocate series of articles. It is our hope that by empowering patients with information, they will be able to make better, more informed treatment decisions.

YOUR MIND AND CANCER TREATMENT
Often called "chemobrain," patients going through various cancer treatments can sometimes experience cognitive dysfunction, such as slowed thinking, memory problems, and poor coordination. In the first of two new articles in our Becoming Your Own Advocate series, we address the issue of cognitive dysfunction by discussing its causes and offering various solutions that can help prevent or minimize its effects.

YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS
Guest contributor Marie Savard, MD, wants "each of us to take medical matters literally into our own hands" by compiling and maintaining a complete set of our own medical records. In the second new article in our Becoming Your Own Advocate series, Dr. Savard describes why a complete set of records is important and offers tips for how to go about finding and requesting copies.

On behalf of the entire board, we would like to thank you for your generosity and support. Your donations make all of the Pine Street Foundation’s educational programs, clinical trials, and research initiatives possible and we hope you will continue to follow our progress and support our work in the coming year.

Best wishes,

Michael Broffman, LAc
